In September 2008, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, co-authored by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter, moved up the bestseller lists faster than a cheetah chasing its prey.

Publishers Weekly reports the new book will be titled Dewey's Nine Lives, will publish in fall 2010, and “will also feature new stories about Dewey himself.”
