Book Description for Inspector Dewey:
My name is Dewey--Inspector Dewey.
I live in the big green house on Hampshire Avenue with my family: Thumper, Lily, and Anna. I am the Big Cat—responsible for keeping everyone safe and in order. I do this quite well, in spite of the fact that managing my family is like, well, herding cats!
Mostly our life is peaceful. But one night it wasn’t. That was the night the bad guy showed up on our block. Of course, I knew exactly how to outsmart the outlaw, but—miserable mullet!—would Anna and the police understand my instructions?
To find out how the adventure ended, you’ll have to read my book. But I’ll give you a hint: there’s a reason I’m called Inspector Dewey.

My Review:
Inspector Dewey is a big, beautiful picture book that is sure to delight children who love cats.
This book tells the story of how Dewey (also known as Inspector Dewey) stops a would-be robbery with the help of his cat friends Thumper and Lily, and his person, Anna.
The book is told in Dewey's voice and he has an engaging tone. I must say that Dewey is a born storyteller! I can imagine this book as a read aloud. Children will sit on the edge of their seats waiting to hear what happens next in this fun and suspenseful story.
The book design and illustrations are beautiful. They truly catch the nature of cats. Each cat depicted has a different personality, seen not only in the book's text, but in the illustrations as well.
I recommend this book highly for preschool children. It would be a great addition to a child's book collection or to a school library.
