How much of an impact can an animal have? How many lives can one cat touch? How is it possible for an abandoned kitten to transform a small library, save a classic American town, and eventually become famous around the world? You can't even begin to answer those questions until you hear the charming story of Dewey Readmore Books, the beloved library cat of Spencer , Iowa .
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.

評分在合上书,和杜威告别的时刻,电视里正传来这样的对话: ——如果不是因为贫穷,我也不会到炸鸡店工作,比较起在外为了工作打拼,我好像更适合待在家里做家 事,照顾孩子和丈夫。我没有办法忍受一个人的生活。爸爸,我觉得我真的是一个很没用的人。 ——怎么能说你是没用...
評分在读《小猫杜威》的时候,我不时想到我的兔子。时至今日,我早已不会否认它的斑斑劣迹,比如偷吃我舍友放在地上塑料袋里的蟠桃,比如它啃坏了我家的电线(这是我的疏忽,我 应 该 知道把电线缠好,并经常给它个小木棍来咬)。我也不会再夸耀它的闪光事迹,比如那孩子一回家不等...
