Vicki Myron tells it all with a genuine warmth and love for Dewey that is completely infectious and one cannot help but end up loving him too. It is most entertaining to read about all of Dewey’s exploits especially times when he manages to climb up on to the very high lights in the library or the time when he makes a bid for freedom that almost goes horribly wrong. Before long, he seems to develop a sense of whose lap he should seek out and he particularly starts to bond with the young and old. He is loved and cared for by all the librarians as well as the patrons of the library. He soon becomes part of everyday library life and starts attending children's story sessions, board meetings and virtually everything else that takes place in the library. This wonderful book chronicles Dewey’s life in the library and how he charmed everyone that he met. As a consequence, the kitten, which was soon to be named Dewey, was adopted and became the official library cat. On opening the box she discovered a small, dirty, shivering kitten and her heart melted. Vicki Myron, the chief librarian at Spencer Library in Iowa, heard some very strange noises coming from the book drop box that borrowers used in order to return their books when the library was closed. His beginnings were very humble and his life could quite probably have been quite short if it had not been for a fortuitous event that occurred one cold winter morning. This heart-warming book tells the wonderful true story of a cat called Dewey.
With just over 200 pages, the book is just the right length for young but proficient readers or for taking turns reading between parent and child. It is an adaptation for younger readers of Vicki Myron’s bestseller 'Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World'. I have just finished reading 'Dewey: The true story of a world famous library cat' with my seven-year-old daughter. Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Books There was the most unusual package in the book drop - a small dirty bedraggled kitten who was about to become Dewey, the world famous library cat. Summary: Vicki Myron could never have guessed how life was going to change one cold winter morning when she walked into the library she ran in the town of Spencer, Iowa.
