Vicki learned, through extensive interviews and story sharing, what made these cats special, and how they fit into Dewey's community of perseverance and love. The amazing felines in this book include Dewey, of course, whose further never-before-told adventures are shared, and several others who Vicki found out about when their owners reached out to her. "Dewey's Nine Lives" offers nine funny, inspiring, and heartwarming stories about cats-all told from the perspective of "Dewey's Mom," librarian Vicki Myron. Now, Dewey is back, with even more heartwarming moments and life lessons to share.

Dewey touched readers everywhere, who realized that no matter how difficult their lives might seem, or how ordinary their talents, they can-and should- make a positive difference to those around them. No doubt about it, Dewey has created a community. It has sold nearly a million copies, spawned three children's books, and will be the basis for an upcoming movie. "Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World" was a blockbuster bestseller and a publishing phenomenon. The cat that captured America's hearts returns, to share more of his special brand of magic. The book includes a variety of other stories about people and their cats (including one couple who had a huge number of cats at a resort that they ran!) and how these cats impacted their owners’ lives.Share your fabulous feline photos with us in the Dewey the Library Cat group in Penguin Community.

I quickly learned that this book touched my heart in ways I didn’t think was possible! The book opens with a story about Dewey, the cat who was featured in Vicki’s first book, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. For that reason, I didn’t know whether I’d love this book or not. While I have lived with cats at various points in my life (and I’m a HUGE Garfield fan), I’ve never really considered myself a “cat person”. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this book. About a week ago I received a copy of DEWEY’S NINE LIVES: The Legacy of the Small-Town Library Cat Who Inspired Millions, by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter to read.
