Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
by Vicki Myron
Take this book for what it is: not grand literature (though not poorly written either), but a feel-good, moving story of a small town, the town's library, and the heartwarming impact of a cat named Dewey. The narrative focuses particularly on Dewey's effect on the author, making this more a librarian's memoir than a biography of an animal.
I'm not one to have visceral reactions to books or movies, but this one made me laugh out loud (so hard, I dropped the book), and tear up. (Granted, I'm reading this book at a time when I'm dealing with some struggles of my own, and have a newly-adopted fluffy orange kitten seeing me through it all).
In brief: if you like cats, and libraries, and are in the mood for something quaint and digestible but still emotionally redeeming, read the damn book. And enjoy it.
