I thought, not only because these next 2 reviews are late but because we're heading full tilt into the holiday season, (don't remind me, I still have to Christmas shop, but that's what bookstores are for...and HMV...and the LCBO) that I'd write about a heart warming tale of adventure and love, and cats.
This book is about a small town called Spencer Iowa and the residents there. It all starts, I suppose, at the library. One frigid night a small, dirt covered kitten is dropped through the library book return slot and left. He's rescued by the night librarians, just closing for the night and that's where the journey starts. It's a journey of fame, of tourists coming to small town Spencer just to see the library cat and most of all it's about the paw prints he left on the hearts of millions.
First and foremost this isn't a work of fiction, it actually happened which is, I think, what makes it unique, I mean, how many libraries do you know of that can say they've had a resident cat?
I thoroughly enjoyed this biography, maybe in part because it was about a cat, but I really did love it. It's funny and heartwarming and you'll think about Dewey for the rest of your life, whether you know it or not.
I definitely recommend this book, especially if you like cats, or biographies, or libraries.
I know this one was short but the next one will be longer I promise...once I find a book to review...I'm sure I'll think of something but do feel free t drop me a line any time and suggest things
