Dewey: The Small - Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicky Myron with Bret Witter

Look at this face! Isn't this a most precious kitty face? Who wouldn't fall in love with this cutie? Dewey Readmore Books was found in the library's book return drop box one very cold January morning in Spencer, Iowa. The library staff is used to finding all sorts of things in that drop box but this frigid morning they heard a noise - a meow! From that moment on, Dewey became a permanent resident of the library.

When you pick up Dewey: The Small - Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicky Myron, you'll read about all of his antics, his comfort spots, his temperament, and how Dewey connected with the library patrons. He was a source of comfort for many. Before long, Dewey's story was shared - he was famous! He was on the cover of Iowa library newsletters, the local Spencer newspaper, in Cat Fancy magazine, and more.

To this day, the Spencer Public Library still dedicates a web page to the story of Dewey. If you're a cat lover, a fan of libraries, or just want a comfort book to curl up with, definitely check Dewey: The Small - Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicky Myron out from your library.
