Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
by
Myron, Vicki,
Witter, Bret
When a cold, wet kitten is pulled from a library book-return box on a winter day in Spencer, Iowa, no one could imagine what changes this very extraordinary cat would bring to a town and a library director -- both in need of some good news. More than a memoir, this book is a lesson in love, devotion, and a sense of community spirit.--Janet Hart, Bookpeople Of Moscow (Moscow, ID) |
