J'ai montré une photo du vrai Dewey aux enfants... Leur expliquant qu'il a existé pour vrai, etc. Ça les a fasciné!!!
From the catalog:
Dewey the cat, who finds a new home at the Spencer Library when librarian Vicky Myron finds him in the return box, learns that young visitors like to chase him, pull his tail, and give him tight hugs, but he soon realizes that, despite the demands, helping people is what he does best.

I have had the adult version of this book on my shelf for a long time, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World.
I spotted the picture book version at the library recently and grabbed it. My 4yo twin boys absolutely loved reading this story. We have two cats of our own, and they loved seeing the things that Dewey got up to in the library, and how he helps the people that visit the library.
One of my boys was absolutely silent during the entire reading, in awe of the beautiful Dewey! This kind of awe is usually reserved for super hero books, so I take this as a sign of a awesome book!
I loved reading this story and I will definitely be re-reading it again and again.

This is such a sweet picture book to read with Kinders! The characters are relatable and there are many examples of how to behave in the library and how to behave around animals. Love it!
I love the concept and how it was done, but I can't help feeling there could have been more.
Oh Dewey. Your story was cute to start but now I'm a bit sick of you. You, like your canine counterpart Marley, have turned into a let's see how much money we can make off this animal marketing venue.
This picture book featuring Dewey might appeal to Dewey fans or cat lovers, but that's about it. I didn't really learn anything about Dewey's life, the story doesn't flow, and it really does read like a "let's see what else we can turn this Dewey story into it and milk it for all it's worth" type of book. The book starts out OK but then it turns into random snipppets about Dewey and doesn't ever really have a cohesive plot. Honestly, I'm not even sure how this made it onto the Show-Me Readers list, other than the fact that it takes place in the library. But there isn't much of a lesson typically found in books on the list.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed in this book.
