I read Dewey (the original book) when I was in the hospital after giving birth to my daughter, and she LOVES cats. So I thought this children's version would be great to share with my kids. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful!! ( )

When Librarian Vicki Myron finds a young kitten abandoned in the Spencer Library return box, she nurses him back to health, deciding then and there that he will be their library cat, and naming him, appropriately, Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey loves his new home, but once he discovers the littlest library visitors - who like to chase him, pull his tail, and squeeze him extra tight - Dewey begins to wonder if he's truly cut out for the demands of his new job. In the end, he is triumphant as he realizes that helping people big and small is what he is meant to do, and that by sharing his special brand of Dewey love, he can be the best library cat of all.

Lovely children's version of the original novel with sweet drawings of Dewey. ( )

A five star rating for my favorite library cat. Dewey was a friend to everyone, and managed to teach proper library etiquette when necessary. Great for storytimes or for a community helpers unit. Myron's illustrated version of the 'Dewey' book is a great starting place for young readers who want to know more about the cute library mascot. ( )

I wasn't sure about the first few pages (they didn't seem all that exciting) but it was pretty funny about the time that Dewey decided to be real Library Cat, instead of just a cat in a library.
