I just read this book, I picked it up for $1 at my library. It wasn't a great book, really, but if you are a cat lover it's hard to resist this story of a poor little kitten who was shoved through the book return slot, found a home at the public library, and became world famous! Dewey, the Library Cat
(There are lots of Dewey videos on YouTube if you prefer a quick summary!) |

Dewey has been the inspiration for many pets in libraries. Pets as reading therapy friends for children who struggle to read have proved to be very beneficial. If anyone is interested in this the READ therapy program is a wonderful place to start.

There are children's picture books of Dewey as well.

I'm not a cat fan at all, but I thought this was a cute, sweet little book.

Someone gave me the book a few years ago. It's a fun book & very very easy to read. Dewy was quite the character.

If anyone is interested in this the READ therapy program is a wonderful place to start. With so many animals in need of homes, it's a shame this can't be more common! |

I have a dear friend from Spencer, Iowa. In fact her grandfather is mentioned at great length in the second book. Great story.

I ordered the book for our school library the year it came out. The library world loved the book. I found it more suited for older kids than the elem. age. But, I liked the story. |

I'm not much of a cat person at all and even I found Dewey endearing. Cute story.

I loved this book!! I love libraries, and a good cat story... I have read this before but must buy this for our school library- I'm the librarian. Dewey was originally going to be the name of our little tiny 3 week old kitten that fell out of the library roof one day during renovations. We ended up keeping her and thought Dewey would be a cute name.
But then my grandson came up with Rufus (if she turned out to be a boy) or Celia. As in "she who came from the roof/ceiling"

Read this book years ago too. Loved it. Simple easy going read.
We think of Dewey anytime, one of our 4 cats decide their canned cat food isn't for canine consumption anymore.
