The book tells Josef Ratzinger's life from childhood onwards
The Pope has given his consent to a new children's book that tells the story of his life through the eyes of his cat.
The book, called Joseph and Chico, has been written by an author from Milan.
Who could have a more personal insight into the life of the Holy Father than his favourite cat Chico, a nine-year-old ginger tom?
In 44 pages Chico recounts his memories of the young Joseph Ratzinger, growing up in a Bavarian family in Nazi Germany.
It follows his early years as a priest and ends with his election as leader of the Church in April 2005.
It has been written by an Italian author, Jeanne Perego, who has never met the Pope.
