Look at that face on the cover! Every chapter has an accompanying picture of Dewey Readmore Books doing adorable cat things. “Dewey” is a true story about a cat who was found in the library drop box on the coldest night of the year in small-town Spencer, Iowa, and how he unites both the library staff and the entire town of Spencer. It chronicles both Dewey's life and that of the library's director, who is able to better deal with her family and life circumstances through the cat's love. While the writing is quite simple, it was still a cute book and a good autobiography of the librarian and how her life — and many others — changed for the better because of Dewey.
