ReviewsDEWEY is charming, lovely, and moving. It's about life and death and small-town values and, above all, love. Norton would have liked Dewey--the cat and the book-- immensely., "This Librarian thought DEWEY was the Cats Meow! It will make you laugh and cry so much that you will want to Readmore Books!

There are few books that are as memorable; DEWEY the small town library cat will be one of those books that will be etched in my memory for a lifetime."-- Jennifer Teitelbaum, San Diego County Library (San Diego, CA), I was enchanted with antics of DEWEY, but also moved by Vicki's personal story and the wonderful presentation of my hometown...Whether you are a cat person, a book lover, or curious about life in small-town America , this story has something for everyone., "DEWEY...is the story about how an attitude of love and devotion enriched the town of Spencer, Iowa, in a time when they needed it most. Dewey was not only a fixture at the Spencer Library for 18 years, he was also an international star of magazines, newspapers, and foreign documentaries...His story unfolds with humor, poignancy, and warmth that carries the reader to the very end."-- Sharon, Beaverdale Books (Des Moines, IA), Through this plucky cat we come to know and love the town of Spencer , Iowa and learn lessons about courage, generosity and the power of relationships.

SynopsisExperience the uplifting, "unforgettable" New York Times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named Dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world -- with over 2 million copies sold! ( Booklist ) Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history., How much of an impact can an animal have? How many lives can one cat touch? How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform a small library, save a classic American town, and eventually become famous around the world? You can't even begin to answer those questions until you hear the charming story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa. Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way.

Heartwarming story of the Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
Dewey was the sweetest story of a cat that I have ever read and was an excellent read. It was written so that it is easy to follow and understand for most reading levels. Vicki Myron and Bret Witter did excellent job of telling the story of an amazing cat. The story revolves around a cat that came to be known as "Dewey" who was found by Vicki Myron in a Book Drop box at the library where she worked in Spencer Iowa. I believe that most every one whether a cat lover or not would enjoy this book. I know that I was deeply touched by the story of "Dewey".Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
