Book Reviews of Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
Book Review: Dewey
Summary: 5 Stars
Dewey is a MUST read for cat lovers and anyone who wants to read a warm and cozy book. I have bought four copies for friends and family members and the books have been passed around to many, many others. I highly recommend this book. The author and co-author did a great job of deplicting this wonderful and lovable little cat as well as the great people in Spencer, Iowa!
Summary of Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
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 ofDewey's story starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the returned book slot at 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 town pulling its way slowly back from the greatest crisis in its long history.
