Dewey - Vicky Myron

Dewey - Vicky Myron (2008)
One cold morning librarian Vicky Myron heard a noise in the book return slot, and found a little ginger kitten who was thin and so dirty they originally thought he was a grey cat. This little fellow become Dewey, who lived and worked in their library in Iowa for the next nineteen years.

I'm a bit of sucker for a good animal tale. I like Marley and Me, and was drawn to this little book by the super cover. I read the first chapter standing in the bookstore several weeks ago waiting for friends. I don't remember which movie we saw, but I kept thinking about the book. After only waiting for a couple of weeks for it to come to me from the library, I got to enjoy it in a good 24 hour period.

Sweet, it still managed to be a story about the author and her life, and the community of Spencer, Iowa as well as being about a cat. 4/5

Hadn't heard of it until now but of course it sounds like a must-read! And I totally agree, what an amazing cover!
