Dewey’s Nine Lives offers nine funny, inspiring, and heartwarming stories about cats–all told from the perspective of “Dewey’s Mom,” librarian Vicki Myron. The amazing felines in this book include Dewey, of course, whose further never-before-told adventures are shared, and several others who Vicki found out about when their owners reached out to her. Vicki learned, through extensive interviews and story sharing, what made these cats special, and how they fit into Dewey’s community of perseverance and love. From a divorced mother in Alaska who saved a drowning kitten on Christmas Eve to a troubled Vietnam veteran whose heart was opened by his long relationship with a rescued cat, these Dewey-style stories will inspire readers to laugh, cry, care, and, most importantly, believe in the magic of animals to touch individual lives.
My teen has a cat named Riley who looks a lot like Dewey so of course when offered to review Dewey’s Nine Lives: The Legacy of a Small-Town Library Cat Who Inspired Millions, I had to say yes! We always loved reading stories and watching news reports of animals doing great feats, showing unimaginable compassion towards others and risking their lives for the safety of those they care about; so Dewey and the many other cats in these stories, fit right in with things we’d already loved learning about.
Dewey’s Nine Lives is a companion book to Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, which was a Blockbuster bestseller and publishing phenomenon! I’m not surprised! There are many people that love to read these stories! It sold millions of copies and even inspired 3 children’s books. Dewey is one popular cat!
Dewey’s Nine Lives is the stories of nine cats and their humans, inspired by many letters and emails that were sent to Vicki Myron after her first book. All the stories are varied but each tells a similar tale of difficulty and the incredible love and importance of the each cat and human’s bond. There are all sorts of amusing tid-bits about these cats! One likes motorcycle rides, another broccoli and there’s even a kitty who likes to take baths!
You’ll fall in love with them and Dewey as he is weaved throughout the book and at the end you’ll want to snuggle with your own kitties and be thankful for how much they inspire you and make you smile each day. Whether you or a loved one, a friend or even your children are Cat Lovers, this is the perfect gift to give; a heart-warming, beautiful and uplifting story that will really brighten your heart.
