Last year I wrote about DEWEY The small-town library cat who touched the world. Now inspired by that heart-warming true story of Dewey comes this charming children's picture book.

When Dewey is found in the book-drop slot of the library on the coldest night of the year, he is just a tiny, shivering and very, very dirty kitten. But Vicki the librarian takes him in, warms him up and decides that he will stay with her and become their library cat.

Dewey soon grows to love his new home, but when he discovers the littlest library visitors – who like to chase him, pull his tail and squeeze him extra tightly – he realises that his new job might be harder than he thought. Can Dewey use his special brand of love to become the best library cat of all?

A certain winner with all small kids who have a cat, and librarians too!
