They probably go to another library.
Do people that are allergic to cats stay away from the library?
umm..
hopefully someday
This book brought me to tears. [Dewey].
I finished a few months ago, and it just occured to me to see if the interview mentioned in the book had made it on to youtube.
I have 6 cats and love them very much [though not as much as my dogs...] and I named one of my hamsters Dewey.
That book made you cry that much? Try reading Marley and Me, or the Art of Racing in the Rain.
I’m more of a dog person though, so I suppose that’s why those hit me a bit harder
Just finished the book, i don’t think i have ever cried so much in my life! Amazing!
When you’re on your own,you can get a cat.
yeah i just finished the book to.
i never had a cat because my brother and dad have a serious asthma..
his story amazed me.
i cried at the very begining of the chapter right up till the end..
I read this book, too. Dewey was a very lovely cat and I’ll forget him
Hi, I’m Beto from Brazil and I just finished the book right now, then I came here hoping find something about Dewey and He is just as I imagine…I love cats…I loved his story and thank you very very much for look after him.
”sorry about the english”
I like lady with the ponytail,she loved that cat.
Vicki has mentioned about this interview in a bk of Dewey
By the way, I love Dewey’s tail XDD
Too sweet – cats are indeed precious and wonderful.
i absolutely love this story. the whole small-town-cat-lovers theme just makes it even better.b
i read the book im only 10. It was so sad. I cryed
dewey was a smart boy…..
i just can’t imagine how does it feels to loose our lovely cat. especially vicky, who spent her almost 20 years with dewey.
i ever had a cat, and he dead at his years of 8. and it really really made me and my mom cried. and even my dad who never cried for animals, he can’t stand on. he cried.
i read dewey, and in the end, i can’t stop my self from crying…. love dewey so much…
That was for Vicki’s new Dewey kids book?I bought the cute book recently and donated it to my brand new local library.
I went thru the middle part of Iowa moving from Calif. to the east coast 15 years ago.If I had known about Dewey back then,I would have gone thru Spencer.I was mostly in the D M and Burlington areas.
Cats are so special …
Gatos são seres tão especiais !!
i just read the book, and i cried when dewey died…..i have a cat on my own, and i know how it feels to loose one….Dewey….i love u!!!
i bought the book.. and i cried at the end.. and i do not know how many tears i shed.. it was soo damn touching
I was elated to hear Dewey will be made into a movie … I am an Iowan now living in the SW … and I was like … yay … a movie from my home state!
Today I just went to a book signing for Dewey’s book in Fort Dodge, Iowa and got my book signed.
Dewey is so beautiful.. I’m so happy his “mommy” wrote this book.. it was so touching and made me cry! Rip Dewey
