Inspector Dewey

BECAUSE PETS BELONG WITH THEIR PEOPLE™

My name is Dewey—Inspector Dewey.

I live in the big green house on Hampshire Avenue with my family: Thumper, Lily, and Anna. I am the Big Cat—responsible for keeping everyone safe and in order. I do this quite well, in spite of the fact that managing my family is like, well, herding cats!

Mostly our life is peaceful. But one night it wasn’t. That was the night the bad guy showed up on our block. Of course, I knew exactly how to outsmart the outlaw, but—miserable mullet!—would Anna and the police understand my instructions?

To find out how the adventure ended, you’ll have to read my book. But I’ll give you a hint: there’s a reason I’m called Inspector Dewey.

My Review

Inspector Dewey is an adorable children’s book about 3 kitties and their human, Anna. If you know me at all, you know how much I love cats! I have 3 myself! Cats all have distinct personalities, and Dewey, Thumper and Lily are no exception. Dewey considers himself head cat and gets into everything! Thumper is a very fluffy kitty who loves to eat! Lily is the sweet baby who likes to get her own way! If you are in her spot, you’d better move! Their human, Anna, loves them all!

When one night, a thief is prowling the neighborhood, the kitties and Anna are on the alert! The story in itself is very cute, but the illustrations really make the story. They are soft and sweet and totally bring Inspector Dewy to life. Your kids will love Inspector Dewey! My daughter is 20, and she loves it too 🙂

Something else to love about this book is the fact that 50% of the profits of book sales will fund veterinary care for pets whose families are in financial need, so that the animals can remain in their homes and out of the shelter system.

    I’d like to win because I operate a small cat rescue for elderly cats. The vet bills never end. They also have to have canned food, because some are so old, that they don’t have teeth. I have 13 at the moment. I take one or more cat to the vet at least 2 or 3 times a month. And I am not wealthy by any means.

    My day started bright and early today at Christy’s Cozy Corners. And cozy it was…a good cuppa java…and a good cry! Oh my, I was totally overwhelmed with emotion! To see my book RIGHT THERE on your blog? I was elated, grateful, proud, uncertain, hopeful and more! It’s been a long time in the making and creating Inspector Dewey has unquestionably been among the greatest joys in my lifetime. Thank you sincerely for the opportunity to share my book with you and everyone at Christy’s Cozy Corners. And a big “Holy Halibut!” to all from the Dewster!

    I would love to win the book for my friends daughter. She loves to read and gets excited any time I bring her a new book. I also could use the $100 for a vet visit. We just took in #6 and he needs to be fixed. I wanted to get some more weight on him before I had it done he was skin and bones when we found him.

    I’d love to read a book from a cat’s perspective. I’ve read books from dogs’ perspectives, but never a cat’s. Sounds interesting and fun!

    I haven’t had a chance to read much since my triplets were born SIX YEARS AGO. It would be great to finally get back into it.
