Dewey: There’s a Cat in the Library! by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter
Published by Little, Brown and Company 2009
This was a great find because the story takes place in Iowa! (where I grew up) It’s also based on a true story. A kitten is left in the return box of a library in a small town in Iowa. The librarian takes it in, cares for it, and names it Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey is now a library cat. He entertains the patrons and all the children love him, a little too much. Soon Dewey decides how to act as a library cat, by helping people. The most touching moment comes when a sad little girl is reading by herself. Dewey tries his best to cheer her up and finally finds a way. She laughs and hugs him. Dewey likes this feeling!
Children will love this story with its soft colorful paintings. Dewey is such an adorable kitten and holds the attention of even my four-year-old. You can use this book before visiting the library or have your child think what would happen if a kitten interrupted his storytime at his library?
