The newest adventure in our New York Times bestselling series celebrates Dewey’s very first Christmas!
The holiday season is in full swing in Spencer — the lights are twinkling, the wreaths are hung, and Christmas bells are ringing. Inside the library, Dewey longs to be part of the holiday fun and after a series of silly misadventures, Dewey finds a way to add his own special touch to his beloved Christmas tree — and the results are Dew-rific!
A wonderful way to celebrate the season with everyone’s favorite library cat.
Though I had heard of Dewey Readmore Books before this children’s picture book I had not really been introduced and I’m delighted to know of such a sweet kitty cat. As a cat lover myself and admitted book-a-holic what could be better than a library cat? Dewey’s Christmas at the Library in a word is Dewey-lishious. Every page is filled with imagination and thought where this sweet kitty learns about Christmas and helps make it a special time. I’m delighted with this book and I will have to find myself a copy of the previous Dewey’s Picture Book in Dewey: There’s a Cat in the Library!
*Thanks to Little Brown for Young Readers for providing a copy for review.*

I’m going to have to check this one out … I’ve read the “original” book about how Dewey became the library cat, but I haven’t had a chance to pick up any of the picture books. Maybe I’ll name my next cat Dewey. My husband named our current cat when we got him about 15 years ago — Gustav, after the composer (my husband is a band director
