You can look at this book from a simplistic point of view, the writing is not complex or poetic, the story isn't dark and it does not leave you hanging at the end.questioning obsure subplots or deep philosophic issues. It was apparently done on the recommendation of the library board, and the town council. The only thing that disappoints me about Dewey's story is that I learned later that Dewey had been declawed shortly after his rescue, although you won't read that in the book. Thanks, however to Spencer Library Director Vicki Myron, and the library employees and patrons, Dewey soon became a people-loving, people-pleasing cat. After all, a human had callously dropped him through a library book return slot on the coldest morning of the year, in sub-freezing temperatures. How can anyone write anything original about a cat who was so universally loved, that when he died his obituary was published in over 200 newspapers? Dewey originally had no cause to love and trust people. I ordered the hardcover book, and my review is based on this version.
I originally read "Dewey" on Kindle, which was a mistake, since the pictures were so small, and because I spent too much time fiddling around with bookmarks and highlights. About two pages into it and I was wondering why I had waited so long. This book has been heavily promoted, and I finally decided it was high time I read it. Read them all - you will want to share the stories with your loved ones.ĭewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World I promise you that! For more heartwarming stories about another ginger cat I suggest the series of Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3). I highly recommend this book! You will fall in love with Dewey after reading the first few pages.
You will understand all that after you read the final few chapters. Finally, it is a story about love and living a good life. But most of all, this isn't just another cat story it's a story of survival, endurance, trust, and hope. The Japanese television filmed Dewey, and after he died, his obituary ran in over 200 papers. It's a story that brought the little town of Spencer onto the world map.
It is a story of an extraordinary cat, a librarian, and their lives in a small Iowa town. Whether you are a child or an adult, whether you like cats or not, even whether you like reading or not! It is a really heartwarming story that reads very easy and that will fill your heart with great affection.
