Dewey: There’s a Cat in the Library! by Vicki Myron, Bret Witter and illustrated by Steve James (Ages: 1-4)

The story of Dewey the celebrated library cat is now available for the youngest of readers in this new, fully illustrated picture book adventure.

When Librarian Vicki Myron finds a young kitten abandoned in the Spencer Library return box, she nurses him back to health, deciding then and there that he will be their library cat, and naming him, appropriately, Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey loves his new home, but once he discovers the littlest library visitors-who like to chase him, pull his tail, and squeeze him extra tight-Dewey begins to wonder if he's truly cut out for the demands of his new job. In the end, he is triumphant as he realizes that helping people big and small is what he is meant to do, and that by sharing his special brand of Dewey love, he can be the best library cat of all.

Read along with your child: the story of Dewey is based on the adult book by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter called Dewey: The Small-town Library-cat Who Touched the World
