This is Dewey Readmore Books, now well known as the cat in the New York Times best-selling book of the same name. Dewey was abandoned in the Spencer Library’s book return, and became known far and wide as the Spencer Library cat. This video also profiles Conrad, Iowa’s town cat, Tom, also well-loved by the entire town after being rescued. This “Living in Iowa” archived video originally aired in April of 1998 on Iowa Public Television. For more recent videos visit Iowa Public Television www.iptv.org

Well that’s good! Hugs back from Iowa!
@Clifurd Ha No, i’m wrong. You are north american, rsrs! Sorry! I really love the book! She’s talks everthing about Dewey, your city and little about crisi’s 1929. Hugs from Brazil ^__^!
@Clifurd Nossa, não sabia que era brasileiro =) ( ou português?..). Comprei na Saraiva. Acredito que deva ter em qualquer livraria. Paguei R$24,90. Recomendo muito, é maravilhoso! Rsrs! Bjus!
Isso é Cool! Onde você achou do livro?
@Clifurd Não, a biblioteca tem um espaço físico entre elas o suficiente para os pêlos não prejudicarem as pessas alérgicas.
the library has a space between them enough to not harm the hair people, who are allergic. Sorry for my bad english.
I im reading the book here, in Brazil =)
They probably go to another library.
Do people that are allergic to cats stay away from the library?
umm..
hopefully someday
This book brought me to tears. [Dewey].
I finished a few months ago, and it just occured to me to see if the interview mentioned in the book had made it on to youtube.
I have 6 cats and love them very much [though not as much as my dogs...] and I named one of my hamsters Dewey.
That book made you cry that much? Try reading Marley and Me, or the Art of Racing in the Rain.
I’m more of a dog person though, so I suppose that’s why those hit me a bit harder
Just finished the book, i don’t think i have ever cried so much in my life! Amazing!
When you’re on your own,you can get a cat.
yeah i just finished the book to.
i never had a cat because my brother and dad have a serious asthma..
his story amazed me.
i cried at the very begining of the chapter right up till the end..
I read this book, too. Dewey was a very lovely cat and I’ll forget him
Hi, I’m Beto from Brazil and I just finished the book right now, then I came here hoping find something about Dewey and He is just as I imagine…I love cats…I loved his story and thank you very very much for look after him.
”sorry about the english”
I like lady with the ponytail,she loved that cat.
Vicki has mentioned about this interview in a bk of Dewey
By the way, I love Dewey’s tail XDD
Too sweet – cats are indeed precious and wonderful.
i absolutely love this story. the whole small-town-cat-lovers theme just makes it even better.b
i read the book im only 10. It was so sad. I cryed
dewey was a smart boy…..
i just can’t imagine how does it feels to loose our lovely cat. especially vicky, who spent her almost 20 years with dewey.
i ever had a cat, and he dead at his years of 8. and it really really made me and my mom cried. and even my dad who never cried for animals, he can’t stand on. he cried.
i read dewey, and in the end, i can’t stop my self from crying…. love dewey so much…
That was for Vicki’s new Dewey kids book?I bought the cute book recently and donated it to my brand new local library.
I went thru the middle part of Iowa moving from Calif. to the east coast 15 years ago.If I had known about Dewey back then,I would have gone thru Spencer.I was mostly in the D M and Burlington areas.
Cats are so special …
Gatos são seres tão especiais !!
