The children's edition of Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library, is enchanting. It teaches kindness and caring, the wonderful talents of cats (especially orange cats), is so beautifully illustrated that it's impossible not to grin as you look at the pictures, and tells a story that would delight any child (not to mention the adult reader ... at last a book that is really fun to read to a youngster). I'm glad that the adult book's ending didn't find its way into the children's version ... this ending is perfect for the young reader. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Having read the adult Dewey and being familiar with the author and area I had to have the child's Dewey. I bought it for my 5 year old grandson for Christmas. We both loved it. It is happy and sad both.

I read the adult book prior to purchasing this one. I read this to my second grade class. They loved the illustrations. We are studying a unit on kindness. Dewey fit in perfectly with our theme.

I bought this book for my 4 year old granddaughter, who loves to read. This was a great surprise for her. I had also bought her a paint-set, because she loves to paint,also. Once her eye caught the picture of the cat on the front, she could not put that book down, until she had it read.This book also caught the eye of her brother, who is 10 years old, and he, too, wanted to read the book.I think children are like little sponges who cannot get enough, of the wonderful world of animals. This is such a book! A great read! My granddaughter, Emily, made sure that this book went home with her, as she tucked it under her arm going out the door.I heard her tell her mother, "We can read this tonight at bedtime,right mom?" For me, that said it all.
