How could I not pick up this audiobook with this charming little cat on the cover? What is not appealing about a real life library cat? Dewey is the story of a small kitten found stuffed into the return slot at the public library of Spencer, Iowa. Cold and frostbitten, Dewey managed to survive and win the hearts of the library staff and patrons. He lived at the library for 19 years and saw his "people" through the joys and heartache of small town living.
I really enjoyed this audiobook narrated by the author who was the one who found Dewey. It is a charming narrative of not only this sweet cat but of the town itself and the people who live in it. The author tells her own stories of joy, hardship and loss and how Dewey figures into it, but also tells of the gumption, determination and heart of small town Spencer when they are hit hard during economic troubles and how one small cat helps to bring healing and love to the many patrons of the library.
I rated it a 9/10.
