Overview
Overview
Experience the uplifting, "unforgettable" New York Times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named Dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world--with over 2 million copies sold (Booklist)Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of 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 community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history.

Dewey Really Need To Explain This To You?
Josh G. - 5 years 4 months agoGiven both my cat allergy and my immunity to the supposed charm of any animal, "Dewey: The Libary Cat Who Kept Touching People" was the last book I expected to leave my mind blown and my soul shivering. And yet, here I am, over two months later and the proud owner of a fluffy orange tabby I named "Dewey" even though the shelter told me his name was already... something else. I wasn't listening. With modern life so full of trauma, disappointment, and the impending apocalypse, the story of a bunch of small town simpletons having their day made by seeing an incredibly common animal is just the thing to give you perspective, to help you see that maybe if we all took more time to appreciate the simple, beautiful joys available to us in every square inch of God's fading masterpiece we call The Earth, we'd all sleep a little bit easier, our dreams slathered in dew... Plus we have like forty copies, so please, seriously, buy them all from us. Also, if anybody wants a really ill-tempered cat, I just got this cat that I'm totally allergic to...
