The Story of Lewis the Downtown Cat

by manz

Lewis the Downtown Cat is a picture book written by Beth Johnson and tells the story of Lewis – the “famous” cat that resided at Downtown Home & Garden in Ann Arbor and was a recognizable and familiar site at the store until he passed away at the end of 2014. It’s a cute little book and kids will get a kick out of seeing a glimpse into how Lewis spent his days at the store and surrounding areas – chasing chipmunks, sleeping, popping into Mark’s Carts and snooping around the Fleetwood Diner. The book rhymes and is written from the POV of Lewis!

For more of Lewis' story you can read about his death here, and read about Downtown Home & Garden’s new cat, Wallace, here!

I just went with a preschool class on a field trip to downtown home and garden. It was a class of toddlers and Lewis was the big hit! So sad we won't see him around anymore!

This is wonderful! Lewis was a true gem, but they have a new cat who is doing his best to follow in Lewis' footsteps. He's also great!

It's suggestions like these that help tie us all together.
Thank you for being our library that suggests books about our lives here in A2.
