Vicki Myron's delightful book about Dewey, the orange cat who lived at the Spencer, Iowa library for 19 years, is going to be made into a movie starring Meryl Streep as Ms. Myron. I think this is wonderful! As I've been reading this book, I've been thinking it would make a beautiful family movie, and a Google search today proved I'm not the only one who has that idea! New Line Cinema will do the film.

While I am an enormous cat lover, I find that most books about cats just aren't very good, for whatever reason. THIS book hits the mark, a true gem! (Ms. Myron - I did the "Dewey Carry" with my beloved cat Spunky, only with him it was over the RIGHT shoulder! Loved that little anecdote and the picture of Dewey being carried around like that!)
I will eagerly anticipate this movie, and whenever it hits the theaters, I will be first in line!
Update: The link above gives information about the film, but when I look at the IMDB web site, I can't find any information under Meryl Streep's biography that such a film is in pre-production. The above link is from November, so I trust it, however. Film plans can and do fall through, but I hope this is one movie that gets made. We need more family movies.
