Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
by: Vicki Myron

Editorial Review:

DEWEY is the heartwarming story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer, Iowa, as told by his owner and companion of nineteen years, Vicki Myron, the librarian who found him on a frigid January morning when he was abandoned as a kitten in the book drop slot. It is also the story of a remarkable small town, which burned down at the beginning of the Depression, only to rebuild itself, and which was almost shuttered during the farm crisis of the 1980s, before regrouping and rededicating itself to small town American values. Dewey's local charm and worldwide fame became a symbol of hope for this recovering town. Through Dewey's antics, we come to know and love many of the colorful and inspiring people of Spencer. But perhaps the most inspiring person in Spencer is Vicki Myron herself, a single mother who survived the bankruptcy of her family farm and working in a box factory to put two of her brothers through college to become one of the leaders of the Iowa library system. Dewey is one lovable, roguish cat who managed to transform an entire town and inspire people across the globe.

Dewey:

So heart-warming. Makes you like people all over again!
You do not have to be a "cat person", the story is so warm and real.

Dewey the small town library cat:

I gave the book to my husband as a gift and he raved about it. He compared the book to "Marley and Me". He said it was a great read for any animal lover!
Rosemary Baues

Loved the book:

This was a wonderful, down to earth, from the heart, reality show at its best, book. I was sad when the book ended. I wanted to hear more and more about Dewey. Also, as Dewey aged I thought how we as humans age and how we are perceived. It was wonderful how he was cared for and loved! I can't say enough good things about this book. BUY IT!

A must read for all animal lovers:

This is a wonderful story of love, dedication and loyalty. It shows how loving and caring for an animal can make the life of a human so rewarding. I am so happy for Vicki Myron's success and I look forward to the movie!
