Summary

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.

Library cats are real

Rating: Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

This is quite a lovely book. It does have a moral, it is not just an account of the adoption of (or maybe by!) Dewey. The presentation led me to believe it would suit a 3 year old, but it will certainly entertain him and he will soon understand it completely.
I enjoyed it, for sure.

A gentle tribute to both the cat, and libraries everywhere

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

"Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library" is a wonderful story about a kitten who was found in the library in Spencer, Iowa, who became Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey explores the library and plays, and tolerates the library's smaller visitors who don't always pet him in the right direction. But his real mission as a library cat is to help people, he decides. Dewey is determined to be helpful, but one little sad girl seems quite hard to reach. Fortunately Dewey is up to the challenge and he ends up being silly to cheer her up, which works quite well indeed. "Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library" is a gentle tribute to both the cat, and libraries everywhere. The large page realistic illustrations warm the tale to its happy conclusion. "Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library" is suitable for children age 4 and up.

Such a Beautiful book

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This is the such a beautiful book. My 5 year old granddaughter laughed at all the antics of this adorable kitten. She just loved it. I am sure we will read this book many times. I also got the adult book about Dewey and I am so looking forward to reading it. My Granddaughter wants me to read it to her too.
