Dewey: The Small-town Library-cat Who Touched the World Review
I just finished the book and I am not ashamed to tell you my eyes are wet. I understand some people just want to read about Dewey but nothing else. I do understand how Dewey had reminded people of changes. Dewey offered his unconditional love everyday. Everyone was happy with Dewey and it could be a perfect ending of a fairy tale. Things change and people get old. Dewey got old and passed away. My beloved cat recently just died. He had given me so much.
The book is about love, changes and life. Life goes on with or without you. However, pay attention to every kindness in the world.
I hope the story of Dewey will make people realize how important it is to treat our pets right. They are family. They are not disposable just because you have to move or just had a baby.
Dewey: The Small-town Library-cat Who Touched the World Overview
On the coldest morning of the year, Vicki Myron found a tiny, bedraggled kitten almost frozen to death in the night drop box of the library where she worked, and her life -- and the town of Spencer, Iowa -- would never be the same.Vicki was a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm and an alcoholic, abusive husband. But her biggest challenge as the new head librarian in Spencer was to raise the spirits of a small, out-of-the-way town mired deep in the farm crisis of the 1980s.Dewey, as the townspeople named the kitten, quickly grew into a strutting, adorable library cat whose antics kept patrons in stitches, and whose sixth sense about those in need created hundreds of deep and loving friendships. As his fame grew, people drove hundreds of miles to meet Dewey, and people all over the world fell in love with him.Through it all, Dewey remained a loyal companion, a beacon of hope not just for Vicki, but for the entire town of Spencer as it slowly, steadily pulled itself up from the worst financial crisis in its long history. Dewey won hearts and proved to everyone he encountered that unconditional love comes in many forms.

Cats are loveable - Gmajoan -
Having had a cat called 'Dewey back in the 1980' in New Zealand I was intrigued to read this book. It is a delighful story and if you dont like cats, after reading this book, You Will.
Our Dewey was one of four kittens that we got from a friend, they were all pure white with blue eyes. Each kitten was for each of our four children.
The kittens were called Liley,Louie,Dewey and Monty.
We loved them and enjoyed them very much.
Cats are a good and faithful friend.
DEWEY the library cat - Cougar -
What a great true story to read, especially for the cat lover in you. It also makes a great gift for that someone you don't know what to buy for. It has a great story that grabs you right from the first page.
Dewey is well worth the money. You won't want to give this book away.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
Warms your heart - Erin -
I loved this book. I'm not an avid reader of non-fiction, so when I decided to read "Dewey" I was a little skeptical. It already had two things going for it though: I love cats and my grandfather lived in Spencer, IA, so I visited there often.
It doesn't matter if you love cats or not, this book will warm your soul. Our feline friends are so much more than window seat warmers. They have a unique personality and Dewey's story is told in a way that makes us feel like he is OUR cat.
May the memory of Dewey live on.
