Summary: Dewey was left abandoned as a kitten on the coldest night of the year stuffed in the returned book slot at the Spencer Public Library in Iowa. He won the heart of Vicki Myron, the librarian who found him, and for the next 19 years he charmed the people of Spencer.
I had wanted to read this book for years and I was so disappointed by it!. I figured, how could it go wrong? It combines my two passions - cats and libraries - how could I not love it? I didn't. The writing wasn't the greatest and only about half of it was actually about Dewey. The rest was about Iowa (boring!) and the librarian (not boring but not relevant either). I wanted more stories about the Dew - he lived for 19 years there must have been more stories to tell. Vicki Myron has written another book about him that she says contains more stories about Dewey but I'm afraid to read it in case I get another boring history of small town Iowa!!
