Dewey - The Small-Town Library Cat WhoTouched the World

New York: Grand Central Publishing, 2008. A near Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price-clipped. 277 pages. Dewey's story starts in the worstpossible 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 icki Myron. 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 love. For the next 19 years he never stopped charming the people of Spencer, Iowa with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who neededhim most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state, and amazingly, worldwide. Dewey became more than just a friend, he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming town. D4C. First. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
