![]() My Mom was a wonderful Mother and animal lover, who just like me, considered our cats her kids. ![]() “ Dewey: There’s A Cat In The Library!” 2009, has special provenance for me. Especially in a library setting children will identify with a story set in a library. ![]() This would be a wonderful library storytime book for preschool and school-aged children. I enjoyed this adaptation of Dewey's story. I had checked out the original "adult" story, also written by Vicki Myron, but didn't have the time to read it before it had to be returned. I was so excited to see this story in picture book form. The story's illustrator, Steve James, paints beautiful and soft, realistic illustrations of Dewey and the children at the library. ![]() The story follows Dewey as he explores the library, gets to know the library's patrons, and learns to be the best library cat that he can be. ![]() When Vicki, the librarian, returns to the library in the morning to find a cold and dirty Dewey in the book drop, she cleans him up and decides to keep him at the library, as the library's cat. Dewey is a orange colored kitten who was left in a public library's book drop one night. Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library is a gorgeous picture book based on the true story of Dewey Readmore Books. ![]()
