Kiwi Magazine Review:
We’ve all heard about Dewey the kitten that was found in the night drop box of a library by now, but this picture-book version of the story will make you want to keep reading. The illustrations purr off the page with the fuzzy orange shelf dweller. Dewey’s playful antics and role as library liaison are captured originally and joyfully in these pages. A wonderful gift for a young reader.

Product Description:
The story of Dewey the celebrated library cat is now available for the youngest of readers in this new, fully-illustrated picture book adventure.

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.
