A ball of red yarn twisted around the library Christmas tree by resident cat Dewey brings first prize for tree decorating to the library. The text and digital illustrations of the humans are stiff and uninspired, while the depictions of the orange title character are lively and warm. (c) Copyright 2011.

K-Gr 3-It's Dewey's first Christmas. The library cat has no idea what he's in for, but he sure loves all those decorations and fake tree branches. Inspired by a true story, Dewey's antics are portrayed with authentic liveliness in James's digitally painted artwork, which looks like watercolor and ink. This well-paced, engaging story is a standout among picture books featuring library settings, and it is sure to enhance holiday-themed programs.-Linda Israelson, Los Angeles Public Library (c) Copyright 2010.

Curiosity certainly doesn't kill Dewey the cat-it helps his library win first prize in a tree-decorating contest. So goes this schmaltzy holiday anecdote starring the feline mascot of an Iowa library, first made famous in retired librarian Myron's bestselling Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. Dewey's antics exploring paper bags, tree decorations, and bright red yarn entertain staff and patrons alike, as seen in James's quaint, slightly retro illustrations (is that a card catalogue in the children's room?!).
