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

This is an absolutely charming book, a must-read if you love cats! My sister Nancy gave this to me for Christmas. Written by Vicki Myron, who was director of the Spencer, Iowa Public Library, it's the story of a little orange kitten who, in 1988 in the dead of winter, was found in the library book drop, half frozen to death. Taken in by the library and named Dewey after the Dewey Decimal System (what else would you name a cat who lives in a library?), he became their mascot for the next 19 years, and probably was the most well-known and popular "citizen" of Spencer, Iowa! I am totally enjoying this sweet little book, and just want to take this chance to recommend it to anyone and everyone - it's a great way to take your mind off the bad things going on in the world for a little while!
