DEWEY by VICKI MYRON and BRETT WITTER

      Now I do not usually post books that are non-fiction, so here is a special treat. Dewey the "Small-Town Library Cat who Touched the World" is the cat lovers equivalent of a dog lovers  "Marley and Me." It is written by the person closest to the cat, the librarian Vicki Myron.  Dewey is a orange tom cat that Vicki found in her Library's drop box on what is said to be the coldest morning in Iowa. The book is partly Vicki's autobiography and Dewey's biography. Dewey's story would not be complete without Vicki's recount of her life. Together Dewey and Vicki lives are heartfelt and hopeful. The story is as warm, sad, and funny as the entire book of Chicken Soup for the Cat lovers soul. I would not be surprised is a bit of Dewey's life wasn't found in Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers soul. Readers, however, do not have to be a cat lover to appreciate the fight and miracle of an animal or towns survival in the middle of no where. Like I mentioned before its the cat version of "Marley and Me." Note to readers this books will probably not be made into a movie anytime soon but the cat in question has been in several movies before the end of the book and many more Cat friendly magazines and news papers. Perhaps I am wrong since there is already several children's book and a teen version of the Dewey's story. Dewey's story is a quick and light summer read.   Its one of those books you can pick up when you need something to read on vacation or between books.

This book is Buzz Worthy because it reminds readers on how special life is and how magical certain people can affect a life.
