Really enjoyed reading this book and founding about Dewy and how he became a library cat. The chapters about Dewy I really enjoyed reading and founding out more about him. The chapters that didn’t have Dewy in them I found them boring and didn’t think they really fitted the book or were needed in the book they took away space from Dewey’s story. The people who loved Dewy were such a amazing and inspirational people and they looked after him so well for 19 years. I loved all the weird and funny things Dewy would get up to in this book and some points of the book made me smile and laugh. The last two chapters broke my heart when the sadly lost Dewy I was in tears reading the ending. Such a great story overall. Xxx

plumpaperbacks's review against another edition

emotional funny hopeful sad

I don’t remember much about this book, except that I read it randomly in elementary school—I don’t even remember how I found it—and absolutely loved it. Young Liv loved Dewey so much, and was delighted to learn that the library he lived in was in a state fairly close to mine. I begged my mom to take me, and then was devastated when I reached the end of the book and found out he had died. This is one of only two nonfiction books I own, and part of a small collection that I’ve kept with me for over ten years, through various moves. It’s easily been ten years or maybe more since I’ve read it, but at this point, it’s a sentimental thing. ❤️

I could be misremembering details, but if I’m right, Dewey got really sick and eventually was put to sleep. I don’t remember how detailed the book gets, but definitely be careful if animal sickness/death are triggering to you.
