Link to November 6 ParentDish blogpost, "Dewey The Library Cat Gets a Movie Deal, Meryl Streep Signs on to Play Librarian". (via Lazyfeed)Excerpt: Dewey died in 2006, and his obituary appeared in some 250 American newspapers, including The New York Times. In cat fashion, he's gotten additional lives thanks to Myron. "Dewey: There's a Cat in the Library" was her first children's book and there are several more about the literary kitty expected soon.
Named Dewey by the folks at the library in honor of the Dewey Decimal System for cataloging books in the library, Readmore Books was tacked on to encourage kids to read. Library staff had already been calling him Dewe when a naming contest was held to get more patrons involved -- Dewey won by a landslide.
ParentDish spoke to [author Vicki] Myron about how pets help a single mom bond with a teenager and how to find a cat that will be nice to 300 strangers a day.
