Dewey

[Trinityagain]

Has anyone else read the book about Dewey, the library cat in Iowa? I bought it for myself for Christmas and it is an awesome story...but have the tissues handy!

[Laura's Babies]

I got it for Christmas THIS year! I haven't started reading it yet though.. I read about him on the internet so I know about him, can't wait to read the book!

I'm in the middle of reading it. Love it! If anyone wants my copy when I'm done, please email me your address and I'll post it to you. :love:

I haven't read it yet (and I love library cat stories, lol).

I do have a video called "Puss in Books" (http://www.amazon.com/Puss-Books-Adventures-Library-Cat/dp/0966300912/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=video&qid=1230938128&sr=1-2) which is stories about real cats that live in libraries around the country. It's adorable, and sad in some places, but what a great video!!! It made a ton of little kids at school beg my one principal for a cat, lol!

I read it a couple of months ago - it was wonderful!!

I would love to read it. I saw it for sale at the bookshop and it looked like a great book. I'm sure someday I'll get a hold of a copy and read it.

Is that the one with the orange cat on the cover? I've always wanted to read it but I refuse to spend extra $$ on a hardcover book, when I do they ALWAYS come out with soft covers after. :rolleyes: Plus, I think hard ones are overpriced. :p It sounds like a cute book, I'll have to look for it next time and see if they came out with soft covered books first.

you can always find the book at the library.....cant find it any less expensive than that......

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I just ordered a used copy off of Amazon on Sunday!

I'm hoping to find a copy at the used book store where I have credit. If not I'll probably hold out for the paperback. Can't wait to read it though.

I read it a few months ago - my copy is currently on loan, but I'd be willing to start a mailing chain! It's a great little book; there aren't that many about cats that get as much attention as Dewey has, but it's well deserved! I got it from overstock.com - I'm not sure whether paperback is coming out anytime soon.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

He he!! My hubby gave it to me on Christmas!! It is such a touching and warm story!!!

I got my copy from the library. It's a great story. I balled at the end. Dewey seemed like such a sweet kitty.

Did you hear the librarian who wrote the book has a new kitty? Her name is Page.

I have not read the book yet, I plan to, but in searching for the book I found this article in USA Today about a kitten the author found last month in a dire situation who will now be Dewey's "replacement"

Enjoy!
