Dewey, rather Inspector Dewey, will delight readers of all ages as he recounts his story of mystery, bravery, and good ol' sleuthing. Dewey may be a cat, but he's no ordinary cat. One night, he was able to put his inspector skills to the test and keep his family safe from a mysterious figure lurking outside. Filled with hilarious phrases "Crusty Cod!", gorgeous illustrations, and intrigue; this picture book is worth every penny. I hope to see more in a series! Intended for readers 3 and up, (younger kids will love the pictures, but may struggle understanding some of the vocabulary). I received this book for free from iRead Book Tours in return for my honest, unbiased opinion. no reviews | add a review

From the moment my eyes gazed upon the cover
to the final page turn, I was hooked. Dewey is a
remarkable cat with super kitty powers that are
proven rather valuable time and time again. He's
the leader of his little family and rightfully so
being the most curious and take charge feline of
the bunch. The bunch to which I am referring
would be his family consisting of Thumper (larger
cat that loves life, in all its flavors), Lily (the
youngest and most playful), and Anna (their
human). Four peas in a pod that love each other
dearly, but when danger comes to their
neighborhood, they don't take it laying down.
they put their pretty little heads together and with
stealth, finesse, and kitty intuition, they manage
to save the day for the whole town! Go kitties,
go!
As I said, a wonderful story but the gold star recipient, to me, would be the illustrator. I simply could not get enough of these gorgeous pictures! From the warm and fuzzy color palette chosen to the sweetness conveyed in each kitty's face to the little inspector himself, there isn't a page that I didn't "ahh" and "ooh" over. Seriously. I would hang these images on my walls, frame them for a classroom or library, or even gift them to an expectant mother for their nursery. They are JUST that good!
To conclude, a grand adventure fit for felines and their human counterparts alike. There isn't a soul out there that wouldn't enjoy some aspect of this wonderful little book. From it's witt and charm to it's amazing illustrations, there's a bit of bookish magic for everyone.
