内容説明
Now everyone's favorite library cat can inspire a new audience of young readers with his story of courage and love. Like the hardcover, this paperback edition of the middle-grade adaptation of New York Times bestseller Dewey features an 8-page photo insert of the Dew!
In the tradition of Marley: A Dog Like No Other, this is the story of a cat who was more than a pet, and the amazing effect he had on the people around him. Abandoned in a library book drop slot in the dead of winter, this remarkable kitten miraculously endured the coldest night of the year. Dewey Readmore Books, as he became known, quickly embraced his home inside Spencer's public library, charming the struggling small town's library-goers, young and old. As word of Dewey's winning tail, or rather his tale, spread, the library cat gained worldwide fame as a symbol of hope and proof positive that one small cat could change a town, one reader at a time.

Same as First Book
2010/6/5
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I loved the first book Dewey the library cat and thought this was a follow up. It was the same book just a few bigger pictures and different cover. I was kind of let down. Wish I had know it was the same as the first book I could have saved some money, oh well. I am looking forward to the Xmas book about Dewey.

A Fascinating Story
2010/6/23
形式:ハードカバー
Who placed the kitten in the library book drop? To this day, that question remains unanswered in Spencer, Iowa. No doubt the person felt that whoever discovered the kitten would find it a good home. It certainly was a lucky day for the scrawny, half-frozen, bedraggled-looking kitty when librarian Vicki Myron found him tucked in a corner of the book drop. Vicki carefully warmed, cleaned up, and fed the little stowaway. The kitten showed no fear of people --- in fact, he responded to their kindness with sincere affection and trust. The library board reluctantly agreed to allow him to take up residence at the library.
The little orange and white kitten was soon dubbed Dewey Readmore Books, Dewey for short. Dewey had the run of the library and as much attention and affection as any kitten could ever want. He attended staff meetings when he felt like it, and story hour, where he befriended the special needs children; walked among the shelves of books and napped where and when he chose; looked for welcoming laps and usually found them; and showed up daily in the lunchroom to get a few licks of yogurt and some attention. Dewey was both lucky and spoiled.
After the library staff left each evening, Dewey had the whole place to himself. He must have had quite a time of it, locating cozy spots to hide, seeking out rubber bands --- which he loved to eat --- doing whatever struck his fancy. Each morning he was at the front door waiting for Vicki, who took him home on weekends and holidays when the library was closed. During one three-week period when the library was being remodeled, Dewey spent the entire time at Vicki's. He loved the open windows, the fresh air, and the sound of birds so much that when he returned to his post at the library he sneaked out while the evening janitor was working. Everyone hunted frantically for him. A few worrisome days later he finally showed up, dirty and ragged, and very glad to be back home. That was his first and only solo adventure outside.
Dewey loved the camera and enjoyed posing for photographs. He was such a handsome cat that his picture graced cat calendars and often won photo contests. Magazines and newspapers near and far carried stories about him, and his fame spread quickly. People drove hundreds of miles just to come to Spencer, Iowa, and meet the famous library cat. Documentaries were made about Dewey. Even people in Japan had read about him.
Dewey lived out his life, all 19 years of it, at the library in Spencer. He was a goodwill ambassador and a furry friend to all who needed a bit of cheering up or affection. There are other library cats, to be sure, but it is unlikely that any of them are as well known or loved as Dewey Readmore Books.

Finally a Dewey for Kids!!!
2010/5/27
形式:ハードカバー
Finally, a Dewey for younger readers. Written on the 5th Grade level (AR 5.0, 6 points), this book is an endearing read that's ultimately pretty amazing. I know that I laughed and cried.)
The story begins on a frigid January morning in the small town of Spencer, Iowa. The librarians are opening the door on the book-drop expecting only chilled books and maybe some candy wrappers, when suddenly they find a half frozen kitten. Of course, the dirty little orphan grabs their hearts and they work feverishly to save his life. But what follows in the months and years afterwards was more than any of them could have ever guessed.
The kitten, nicknamed 'Dewey', was soon christened Dewey Readmore Books. Raised at the library, he became a favorite with the staff, and then the town's people. And from there the mellow cat's fame spread until he became a worldwide phenomena.
THE SKINNY:::
Dewey is a sentimental tale that was on the reading list of many, many adults and now it's been rewritten to be appropriate for younger cat loves.
I would say that it's for advanced 4th graders on up. It's a tad sad at the end, but all-in-all Dewey's story is so full of love that the message that you carry away is overwhelmingly positive and uplifting.
Personally, I was just amazed at the effect that one individual --cat, dog, or person -- could have on his community. Dewey was the social-glue for his town; a force that brought everyone together. It's true, you see. One person... or rather one cat CAN make a difference.
Reading this now to my two I read it for myself first). Great story.
