Review of the book “Dewey”

Review of the book “Dewey”

Today I was chatting with a librarian who showed me a book that she thought I might enjoy. I had mentioned that I like victorious stories. This one had two stars, a librarian and a cat.

Author Vicky Myron had a tough time. She got through a divorce, welfare, completed her college education, a hysterectomy, a mastectomy, and got a job as a librarian.

One quote mentioned in his backstory that he had heard was that people have a pain tolerance of ten, but will not take action to change until he reaches nine. I can identify with that. I’ll add that to my mental notes on positive thinking and change.

Many victorious stories are about people, but animal stories are also fun to hear.

Dewey the kitten was placed by someone in the library’s return mailbox during the snow season. When the staff came to work in the morning, they found the poor little boy crying and cold. Vicky decided to let him live in the library.

Initially, there were some people concerned about allergies or having live animals in the building. Vicky tried to think of ways to make it work. Over time, visitors loved visiting the library. He had a naming contest and the name chosen was “Dewey Readmore Books.”

Dewey became a celebrity and stories about him were featured. He lived for 19 years. At first, Vicky was happy to have a cat to love, but she ended up bringing comfort to everyone in town.

Pets can be therapeutic. They need love and so do we. There isn’t always a home for all pets in need, but what if we could come up with more scenarios like this that could provide a solution?

I love cats, but my husband and daughter are allergic to them. When I was a child, I loved to see the old cats who kept all the stray dogs even though they were too many. I thought it was sweet. I’d stick with one, but I think it might be fun to find creative settings for them.

I believe that God wants us to take care of his creatures. It saddens me when I hear stories of abuse. I’m glad this was a happy story. Children learned to be kind, the elderly, the disabled, and the discouraged found comfort.

The kitten that could have died of cold found warmth in the hearts of the community that loved him.
