Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the returned book slot at 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 town pulling its way slowly back from the greatest crisis in its long history.]]> 1899600 3.60 5616 2059 565826 3.60 5602 2054 2008 6383654 0316068748 9780316068741 15 http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/63/654/6383654-m-1255753139.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/63/654/6383654-s-1255753139.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6383654-dewey 3.60 40
When Librarian <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Vicki</st1:PersonName> Myron finds a young kitten abandoned in the Spencer Library return box, she nurses him back to health, deciding then and there that he will be their library cat, and naming him, appropriately, Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey loves his new home, but once he discovers the littlest library visitors-who like to chase him, pull his tail, and squeeze him extra tight-Dewey begins to wonder if he's truly cut out for the demands of his new job. In the end, he is triumphant as he realizes that helping people big and small is what he is meant to do, and that by sharing his special brand of Dewey love, he can be the best library cat of all.]]> 1899600 3.60 5616 2059 317939 3.54 46 17 565826 3.60 5602 2054 2009 6692726 3442203333 9783442203338 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6692726-dewey-und-ich 4.50 2 1899600 3.60 5616 2059 565826 3.60 5602 2054 2774338 4.00 3 1 2009 7059329 0446542202 9780446542203 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7059329-dewey 0.0 0 1899600 3.60 5616 2059 565826 3.60 5602 2054 2008 7059330 0446407429 9780446407427 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7059330-dewey 0.0 0 1899600 3.60 5616 2059 2010 7219935 9573325632 9789573325635 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7219935-dewey 0.0 0 1899600 3.60 5616 2059 2009 7062669 3837100553 9783837100556 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7062669-dewey-und-ich 0.0 0 1899600 3.60 5616 2059 565826 3.60 5602 2054 2746143 4.00 4 1 2009
