Description

The story of Dewey the celebrated library cat is now available for the youngest of readers in this new, fully-illustrated picture book adventure.

When Librarian Vicki Myron finds a young kitten abandoned in the Spencer Library return box, she nurses him back to health, deciding then and there that he will be their library cat, and naming him, appropriately, Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey loves his new home, but once he discovers the littlest library visitors-who like to chase him, pull his tail, and squeeze him extra tight-Dewey begins to wonder if he's truly cut out for the demands of his new job. In the end, he is triumphant as he realizes that helping people big and small is what he is meant to do, and that by sharing his special brand of Dewey love, he can be the best library cat of all.

    I am currently reading the regular book by Vicki Myron, and I love it! Dewey is a phenominal character of a cat, with personality and a love for eveyone. A heartwarming description of how he brought life to Spencer, Iowa, any age will love hearing again and again. Dewey was special and people should know of his inspiring story. Reading this book by Vicki, I am sure her children's book is just as funny and truly represents Dewey's lovable personality.

    A review by my five year old boy: "I love it because it is about a cat in a library. I love the cat, Dewey who curls up into pink cloth and a girl says 'you look like an orange hot dog in a purple bun!" (cue raucous laughter)
