My Favorite Book

My favorite book is a book called "Dewey:A Small Town Library Cat that Changed the World." The cover of the book was a real eye catcher to me because it had a cat on it. Obviously since you can see the cover down there. 

If you haven't already noticed I love cats so I bought the book off the shelf and went about my day. I started reading it that night and I almost cried because of what happened. Here is a short summary of what I almost cried about. "Dewey Readmore Books was the resident cat at Spencer Public Library. He was put in the book return one cold January night in 1988. When the staff found him the next morning, they decided to adopt him." (found at the first website I linked)The book really touched my heart and that just made me love cats even more. I would recommend reading this book first then "Dewey's Nine Lives" because its how the books were made. If you haven't noticed this all happens in a small town library in Spencer Iowa. The author's name is Vicki Myron. Here is a picture of her with Dewey. 

Here are some links to some Dewey websites
