Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World

by Vicky Myron


I listened to this book on CD. Now it is possible that reading it might have made me like it a little better. I really didn't like it much once I got past the beginning when they found the cat and the town seemed to perk up.

I thought the latter 1/2 of the book, CDs 3 and 4, was more of a personal reflection on the part of the author, Dewey's "Mom". If I wasn't listening to the book I may have not felt like these section were so out of place in the book. But I did feel that her personal reflections started to distract from Dewey and his story.

Overall, I think it is a very triumphant book about how a small town and a cat can bring people together for the better. But if the book only talked about Dewey and the town it would make a good short story or even a children's book.
