I read this with my dad when I was very young and it holds such an important place in my heart
Filled with quaintness I couldn't quite call charm, but still enjoyable enough.
Back in May I began reading Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron. I bought this book because Dewey looks an awful lot like my little Simba. I knew, from the moment I began reading the first chapter, that this book was destined to bring me great joy.
Although it too me way longer to read than it should have, no words can express the emotion that Dewey brought as I read through the book. From giggling out loud to shedding tears, this book is a must-read for anyone who has a beloved pet.

This was very sweet, although also very sappy. I liked it more than I thought I would, but that's mostly because I didn't expect to like it at all. It was our book club pick for this month and although I wasn't wanting to read it much, I didn't hate it. I also didn't love it, but it was cute and fluffy (literally), which is what we were looking for this month in our book club after reading several heavy books. It didn't produce a lot of conversation about the actual book, but we did all talk about our own pets a lot, which was fun. It wasn't anything amazing, but it was pretty much what we expected and needed.
This book was a little too "chicken soupy" for this library lovers soul. In fact half way through the book I looked at the back slip cover and who do I find endorsing this book but the editor of Chicken Soup for the Soul.
I love libraries
I love small towns
I am tolerant of cats
However I find my self yawning when ever anyone begins to talk of their beloved pet's antics as if they were a substitute child. And that is what this whole book was about.
Plus I can't stand the name dewey, it reminds me of mildew, and I loath mildew or any form of refrigerator fungus

This was a cute book. Great for all ages. I could have finished it in one setting.
Dewey Readmore Books - este é o nome completo do gato que, por 19 anos, morou na bilbioteca pública de Spencer, uma pequena cidade de Iowa. Uma narrativa emcionante, que me conquistou por completo. Amo gatos, e amo bibliotecas, a união dos dois é perfeita. Para alguém iniciando o curso de Biblioteconomia, este livro é mais que uma narrativa, é um aprendizado.
Full disclosure - I skipped over the parts that weren't about Dewey. I know the book was also about the author, but I was only interested in the Dewey stuff.
I am a sucker for a good pet book. I love hearing about how animals can change peoples' lives so dramatically - especially cats. Cats get such a bad reputation for being hateful, but I've had so many wonderful and loving kitties in my life that I know what awesome animals they are.
Dewey was fun to read about. He was definitely a character, and I loved seeing how important he was for so many people. I also loved that he got so many people out to the library.
I probably should not have picked this book at this particular moment since I have a pet that is having some pretty major medical issues and this book ends as most animal memoirs end, but it was still a sweet book about a lovely kitty.
