- Dewey, the library cat
- Beautiful story for cat lovers. At times, I had to put the book down as it brought me to tears. Reminded me somewhat of cats I have loved in the past. I felt as if I also knew Dewey as the author writes in a very personal style. I think you would not enjoy the book if you do not love cats.

- If you have ever had a pet that you truly loved, then this book is for you. I fell in love with Dewey reading this book. I can see how he became a star.

- PERRRRRRRRFECT!
- I saw this book the other day while poking around Barnes & Nobles on Sunday. For some reason the picture on the cover grabbed me and I looked at it for a few minutes. I knew if I purchased the book, I would not go to sleep because I would read it to the end. So, I downloaded it the next day and listened while doing my daily work. Our office has thin walls and everyone could hear me laughing out loud at all of the funny things that Dewey would do to the Library and how he would comically touch people in the small community. I was also crying at the end when my boss walked in and asked if I was alright when I turned with tears streaming down my face. I told her yes, it is the sad part in the book.
I am blessed to have a Jimmy Cat in my life and listening to this story has made me think how much Jimmy Cat has blessed me and waits patiently for me everynight to settle down in bed to get his pets and to watch over me dilligently at night. I have type 1 diabetes and there have been several times in the night that I have woken up to him pouncing me on the chest to wake up because I've slipped in to a mild insulin coma. Too much insulin, not enough sugar in my blood stream. Jimmy doesn't want to be hugged or chased after, he just wants his morning scratch and his nightly rub down. He is almost 9 years old and like the author, I love him more than he knows, and he is not my cat, I'm his human!
Thank you so much for bringing this story to life! I will charish it!

- Dewey the small town library cat
- I gave the book to my husband as a gift and he raved about it. He compared the book to "Marley and Me". He said it was a great read for any animal lover!
