Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
by Vicki Myron
I received “Dewey” as a birthday present from one of best friends. She thought I would enjoy it, because it combined two things that I love: books and cats.
This non-fiction story is about a kitten that was dropped in a library return box during a snow storm and subsequently adopted by the Spencer, Iowa library staff. The cat is named appropriately named Dewey and the story is his life at the library and how his presence affected the entire town.
The book wasn’t great. One early chapter in the book deals solely with Dewey’s love of eating rubber bands. I almost gave up reading it about a third of the way in. However, I did find the last half of the book to be endearing. In particular, the last part of the book deals with people in the town and the harder issues concerning older pets. Yes, it made me cry at the end. One other part of the story that was fairly amazing to me, was Dewey’s wide spread fame around the world. Each chapter has a picture of Dewey and he was one adorable cat!
