This is not a book about "cat". Yes, there is a cat, but Dewey was a special one, "the small-town library cat who touched the world". And there is a strong woman, Vicki Myron who is Dewey's mom. This book was a wonderful story of Dewey the "special" library cat, Ms. Vicki Myron, who worked as a library director and had a lot of stories to tell, and people in Spencer, a small town in Iowa. Every character moved me in different ways; some made me smile, some made me cry, and most of them did me both. Even if you are not a cat lover, there are a lot to enjoy and cry in this book.

I heard there will be a movie based on the book, and Meryl Steep is interested in to involve with this movie. It must be difficult to find the perfect cat to "act" Dewey.

For people who wanted to meet Dewey but couldn't, like me, here are sites you can see Dewey. (If you are planning to read this book, I recommend you to look these sites AFTER YOU READ) ===> http://www.deweyreadmorebooks.com/deweyvideos.php
