This book was an easy and enjoyable read about Dewey Readmore Books, an abandoned kitten who had been heartlessly shoved into the book return of a small-town Iowa library on a bitterly frigid night.

Rescued by the library staff, the kitten is nursed back to health and returns the favor as he restores the faith and pride of a mid-Western town struggling to pull itself through the farm foreclosure crisis of the 1980's. A heartwarming story of a stray cat who became world famous, this book is a must-read for any animal lover.
