Don’t read this book when you just lost a pet. It will cause some breakdowns. Otherwise a very cute book!
A heartwarming story of a kitten found in a library book drop, who went on to be a permanent library resident and ambassador to reading. After reading the first chapter I thought, I can't read a whole book about this - an article would have been enough. But the memoir, written by the librarian who discovered Dewey in the book drop one cold Iowa night, includes stories about small-town life, Iowa seasons, and her own struggles. She herself is as extraordinary as the cat she befriended.
I knew from the start that this would end sadly. But I enjoyed reading about Dewey's escapades. Who doesn't love a cat that can primp on demand! And it was the stories about his fun with Vicki and the library patrons that I loved the most. I used to play chasey with my cat Sloppy and this brought back lots of memories. This wasn't fantastically written, but it was a fun read, (well up until about Ch. 26), then I was balling my eyes out, trying to see the floor while I was vacuuming. It doesn't help that I'm still feeling sorry for myself because Sloppy has gone missing. Would I read it again - no, but I'm glad I read it. The picture book is hella cute, with lovely illustrations.
I loved this book. For anyone who has ever loved an animal, this book will resonate. The friendship between Dewey and Vicki and the whole town really, was a beautiful one. I had never heard of Dewey before - I must have been under a rock because it seems Dewey was known worldwide. Simply put - this book is a sweet love story.
Manusia adalah makhluk pembelajar. Dari manapun ia bisa belajar, bahkan dari seekor kucing.
Dewey, tokoh utama dalam buku ini, adalah seekor kucing. Meskipun hanyalah seekor kucing, ia selalu berusaha membahagiakan orang-orang di sekitarnya. Para pengunjung perpustakaan kota Spencer, Iowa, Amerika Serikat.
Hidup Dewey, akan selalu dikenang bagi mereka yang pernah hidup bersamanya. Seolah tidak mungkin bukan, mengingat dia cuma seekor kucing? Tapi, dari Dewey-lah, memang, kita perlu mengingat nilai-nilai ke-'manusia'-an kita yang sering terlupakan.

Wonderful book, especially for a cat-lover. Funny and touching stories about Dewey - I wish I could've met him - interspersed with details of Ms. Myron and her Iowa town.
Young reader's edition. A quick and heartwarming read.

Didnt care that much about the city or Vicki that much to get the whole backstory but cried like 4 times
This book should be more transparent about what it is; it’s a librarian’s memoir, NOT a book about a library cat. Wavering between 1 and 3 stars. Not to discount this woman’s memoir, but I was not expecting nor looking for a memoir. I was expecting and looking for a book about a cat.
