Dewey Readmore Books. Quite a name for a cat to carry, but it fit. He was found in the return book bin as a kitten, in a very cold winter. It seemed that he was destined for what he did in life, a Library Cat.

This book is Dewey's life story told by the librarian who ran the library where he lived. It takes place in the small town of Spencer, Iowa. The librarian also weaves her story into the book and the story of the small town and residents. It moves back and forth between the story lines over a length of time that gives the reader a look at life in a small agricultural area and how changes in the economy affected not just being able to survive there but also generations being able to survive.

Dewey is the common thread, in his being able to bring more people to the library making it a central meeting place for many. He also drew visitors from around the world to Spencer to see this Library Cat. East coast, west coast, Europe, Japan, in magazines and newspapers and even on the internet. Dewey was quite the cat.

I think I enjoyed it and related to it, as I had a Gallery Cat for a few years. I understood the draw an animal, with a personality and charm, can have. Frankie was his name, and yes he had fame.

Animals, small town life, making life work; if those are subjects you enjoy then this may be your book. Or if you want an enjoyable read about a cat, this may qualify for you too. ( )

I'm giving this a 5 star review because as I finished reading it on the train, I had to hold back tears. Dewey was found as a small kitten on a bitterly cold January morning in the book return slot of the Spencer library and this book is a biography of his life as the library cat who became world famous. Dewey lived to the ripe old age of 19 and in that time, he wasn't just a library cat, and, as well as touching a lot of people who visited the library, he was a significant part of the author's life and indeed this book is her memoir as well.

A book about a library cat??? YES PLEASE! But Dewey is actually more than that. Vicki talks about the history of Spencer, Iowa and her own struggles in her life and how Dewey is just what she and the town needed. Really enjoyed reading this book and it went deeper than what I expected! ( )

The sweet story of an abandond kitten who foundahome at the library. I was surprises how much this touched me. I was close to tears at times. ( )

On the coldest day of the year, librarians in Spencer, Iowa heard an animal inside their book drop box. Investigation revealed a tiny half-starved kitten.

Nursed back to health, he soon became the library cat, overseeing library patrons and activites and making new friends for the library in this struggling farm town.

His story was picked up my news services around the world, He became a celebrity phenomenon with news crews arriving as far away as from Japan and visitors from around the US.

It's a heartwarming bit of fluff (sorry, couldn't resist!), but very repetitive and feels like listening to an overly indulgent grandparent rave about their offspring.

It's also very hard to decide what reading audience this story was aimed towards as author Myron reminisces about her cat's life.
.
Cat lovers? Perhaps, but Myron is so absolutely charmed by Dewey that it's hard to believe she ever had another cat. She mistakes traits common to all cats, as being specific to clever Dewey.

Children? No, her struggles with breast cancer and the town economy would rule them out.

In addition, I listened to the audio version and for the first time I was annoyed by a reader overacting the book. Suzanne Toren's reading was definitely meant for a younger crowd.

(Breathlessly) " And **then** Dewey JUMPED!!!!! down from the shelf **carrying** his yarn! "

I love cats. I love books. I have never met a library cat, although I think bookstore cats are very cool.

I can't think of anyone to whom I'd recommend this. ( )
