In the tradition of Marley: A Dog Like No Other, this is the story of a cat who was more than a pet, and the amazing effect he had on the people around him. This middle-grade adaptation of the Grand Central bestseller Dewey features an 8-page photo insert, including exclusive, never-before-seen photos of the Dew!
Now everyone's favorite library cat can inspire a new audience of young readers with his story of courage and love. Abandoned in a library book drop slot in the dead of winter, this remarkable kitten miraculously endured the coldest night of the year. Dewey Readmore Books, as he became known, quickly embraced his home inside Spencer's public library, charming the struggling small town's library-goers, young and old. As word of Dewey's winning tail, or rather his tale, spread, the library cat gained worldwide fame as a symbol of hope and proof positive that one small cat could change a town, one reader at a time.

Dewey was sooooooo cute. It was so sad he had to die. I understood why Vicki was very depressed when Dewey died-he was literly Vicki's BFF.
I'n in fifth grade and I checked this book out at my library, I read it in the car...I cried when I found out Dewey died in 2007 and was cremated...I miss you Dewey!!
At my old school, i had a teacher ( we're friends ) and we'd have this book club just us two ad we'd talk about books. ( this was in 3rd grade and i was and am a good reader). she recommended this book and i just loved it. I actually think i read the adult version. But either way i LOVE this book. Def read it
AWESOME BOOK
I read this on the sofa, and I hid my face to my brother and mother.... It made my cry so hard!
Pretty good for a nonfiction book.
This book was so heartwarming! I read it time and time again.
I cried! It was such a amazing book but sad in the ending.... I could empathize with the book completely, because a cat that I love died. And he's a stray too...
Do you know that there is a sequel? i just finished reading it, it is DEWEYS NINE LIVES.
