Heartwarming
What a great story. Who wouldn't be interested in this book? If you're a cat lover, you'll love the book. If you're a small-town person, you'll love the book. If you're looking for a good story, this book is for you. Dewey is about how a cat put smiles and more in the lives of people in Spencer, Iowa. A cat that became popular and touched the lives of everyone.
Wonderful!
A real story about love, life, death, and loving an animal. "Dewey" is a great read!
A nice cat story, but. . .
I read about this book in the Fort Dodge(Iowa) Messenger. I had never heard of Dewey the library cat, but grew up not too far from Spencer so was interested in reading the book.
It could have been much shorter and only about the cat. There was too much filler about the librarian's personal life and the history of the town. In another book they would be fine, but not very relevant to the life of a cat.
BEAUTIFUL DEWEY
My daughter bought me this book last week, she saw it in a shop and although I am a "dog" person, she thought I would enjoy it.
She was so right, the story of Dewey and Vicki's love for him, not to mention thousands of other people was inspiring.
He was such a beautiful cat and filled so many people's lives with joy( until he got lost for a few days!)
The only thing that I would say is that I was so sad to read that Vicki couldn't be with him when he was sent to sleep. They loved each other so much and shared a very special bond. I do know how hard it is to say goodbye to a beloved pet,it is heartbreaking, but having said that I still feel that as much as Vicki did for Dewey she could have done that one last thing.
I give the book full marks.
A Love Story
A beautiful real life story. I have a cat that looks like Dewey and that I relate to just like the author did with Dewey. Those who think that cats are standoffish and not as loving as dogs will change their minds after reading this book. I of course cried at the inevitable ending and will treasure this book. I have already starting ordering it for gifts.
