There's a Cat in the Library! by Vicki Myron






'The book is not only a tribute to a cat... it's a love letter to libraries.' —Publishers Weekly

'Myron’s beguiling, poignant, and tender tale of survival, loyalty, and love is an unforgettable study in the mysterious and wondrous ways animals, and libraries, enrich humanity.' —Booklist (starred review) 


Pet books melt hearts, but with a few exceptions (most conspicuously Marley), they seldom make bestseller lists. That seemed doubly true of cat books, which don't sell as well as their canine equivalents. That all changed though with the entrance of Dewey, Vicki Myron's adorable 2008 adult nonfiction book about a kitten orphan who became a popular public library resident. With this picture book, Dewey prances happily into the children's section, where we're certain that he will be welcomed by a whole new crowd of preschool friends.Pet books melt hearts, but with a few exceptions (most conspicuously Marley), they seldom make bestseller lists.
