For Your Little Library: Dewey's Story, Retold for Kids
I will be adding this darling book to the list of goodies I'll be packing in my grandchildren's Christmas box. I loved Dewey's story - now it's time for them to understand why☺
From PeoplePets.com
If you read Vicky Myron's 2008 best-selling book, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, about the special orange kitten abandoned in a book depository at an Iowa library, then you know that the story should have come with a box of tissues. But now Myron has teamed up with illustrator Steve James to adapt that heart-warming tale for younger audiences — minus the tears!
The colorfully illustrated book ($16.99) is called Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library and includes some of the fluffy feline's most amusing adventures — like climbing into the book cart, snooping in open drawers and running around with rubber bands. Just when you think things might turn sad with a melancholy little girl reading a book, Dewey swoops in to save the day just like a trusty library cat should.
It's the purr-fect bedtime story to add to your little one's library.

Thanks for your visit to my side of the world. I don't know how you keep up with 4 blogs. I love them all! Jingles is a big fraidy cat. She doesn't like the big world outside the front door but relishes her time on the balconies -- especially the bigger one where she can actually see beyond the boundaries (the other balcony has siding on it so is private). Dewey sounds like a wonderful, fun book for kids. So hard to get decent books, even for children, in this country. Best wishes for your day :) Tammy
Oh my goodness! Mom says she will have to give this to the niece for Christmas! Thanks for sharing!
What a neat little book!
This is the CUTEST book! My cat Spooner is a therapy cat and will be "working" in a library, beginning this week. I squealed when I saw this book! It's so sweet. Two paws up, way up for this one!
What an adorable sounding book. We have to tell mom or even Santa to bring this to our little sisfurbean! thanx for letting us know about it!
We like Dewey's story too - he was a nice cat - wonderful story for your grandkids!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and the two suggestions. I will do that from now on. Rocky is a smart cat and will learn fast. He got out so fast unknown to me! I totally believe in keeping our cat inside. We have lots of windows for him to look out and when possible, we open them...during the warmer weather.
I loved the book Dewey.
Have a fun day.
Its so funny but just today mum was reading in a catalogue about a book that was about a cat in a library. This I think is the chldrens version. Mum was going to get the adult version and now thinks she will have to get both.. Thanks for showing.. Hugs GJ xx
Sounds like a great book for the younger kids...
Dewey was an awesome cat!
The mom here says that for sure she is putting this on her Christmas shopping list for the little gran.
Dewey was such a fine cat, and had an effect on the lives of so many. I wish we had a cat at our local public library!
