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.

Summary: Dewey the small town library cat
Comment: 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!

Summary: Loved the book
Comment: 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!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must read for all animal lovers
Comment: 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!

Summary: Dewey - A Cat For All
Comment: Who says that having a cat (or other pet) can't change your life. From the moment that Dewey's tiny, almost frozen body was found in the Spencer Iowa library book drop to the end of his long and fruitful life, he did just that - change the lives of everyone who came in contact with him - whether they wanted to or not.
I knew I wanted to read this book from the moment it was mentioned on the LibraryThing.com Early Reviewer's site. I didn't get a copy then, so it went immediately onto my Amazon wishlist. Then my cat loving and book reading daughter saw it there and the rest is history.
It's a delightful story of a cat who came in from the cold and warmed the hearts of all who came to know him - throughout the world. I cried at the end.
