Dewey the Library Cat: A True Story by Vicki Myron

1.0

---

Though heartwarming, this book has many faults. First off, it is not well written and at times seemed to lack transitions. Secondly. The cute factor feels a bit contrived and is used too much. Also, it is just too long. Ironically, I felt the same way about the picture book version. Finally, the story at times made me wonder whether the main human character was really all that good of a cat caretaker or a librarian. One may have been sacrificed for the other at times making it difficult for me to relate to the character. This was especially faulty as the other characters we near invisible.
