I'm not a cat person by any means, but by the end of this book, I was a Dewey fan.
This book follows the life and death of Dewey, a cat who had a very sad start to life, but then it's rescued and becomes the new cat of a small library in Spencer Iowa.
The book also focuses on the local events that happened to the town of Spencer as well as the health of Vicki.
It was an easy read, with some heart ache.
Overall, a great book with great narration

I really enjoyed reading the story of Dewey and his the librarian who was his owner. My first thought about having a cat in the library was possible issues with allergies in patrons, but the doctors Myron consulted all said that the open design of the library made it unlikely a patron would have a problem and it turned out to be a way for allergic children to interact with an animal safely even though they might be unable to have one at home. Dewey touched the lives first of the residents of Spencer, Iowa, then surround counties and eventually the world. Film crews came for Japan to videotape him and he appeared in numerous news stories in magazine, radio, newspapers, magazine and TV. As he got older people came from far away to meet him. He seemed able to read feelings in people and helped them when they were feeling down or sick. Myron herself received comfort from him in hard times due to her own medical issues or deaths in her family. While I enjoyed the story I found myself slowing down as it came towards the end because I knew that being a cat who was 18 years old the next logical step was going to be his death. I knew already from news storied that Dewey was no longer living, but it felt like if I never reached the end of the book Dewey would still be living at the library, hiding in the shelves, riding on the carts, waving at the window until I reached the last page. I can't see either of the libraries that I regularly frequent buying a cat and having it live there, but at the same time I kind of wish that they would.

This is a very cute story but the writing is very basic and the book is quite sparse overall.
I'm crying ðŸ˜

Nice, but seriously, I could have done without the chapters of the writers life. I came here for the kitty!
This was the first chapter book I ever received (in 2006, as a gift from my Great Grandma), and my favorite book of all time. This is probably my 50th time reading it, and I’ll never get tired of it. It means so much to me and I would recommend it to anyone.
If you are cat obsessed like me, you will love this cute tale of a real library cat! Animals seem to always know how to comfort us and calm us down. This cat brings a community closer together with his cuteness and charisma! Loved this adorable, true story!
