Dewey the Library Cat is Coming to the Big Screen…With Meryl Streep!

Variety is reporting that the book Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, about a kitten’s impact on a small midwestern town, will be made into a motion picture, starring none other than the Book Snark’s favorite actress, Meryl Streep. No, Meryl will not be playing Dewey (though with her talent, I don’t doubt she could), but rather Vicki Myron, the Spencer, Iowa, librarian who discovered Dewey.

Myron discovered the little puss, half-frozen, in the library book-drop. After anointing him library mascot, she watched the effect Dewey had on the community, inspiring her to write his story. It was published by Grand Central Publishing in September.

And now it looks like the ginger kitten is coming to the big screen. Pamela Gray, who penned the screenplay for Streep’s 1999 film Music of the Heart, will be writing the script.

I have a little orange kitty myself, so I am quite excited about this film. I am also the biggest Meryl Streep fan ever, so that makes it even better. I’ll probably be so damn giddy on opening night that I’ll be…purring.

I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.

Großer Pfosten! Dank für das Nehmen der Zeit, etwas zu schreiben, das wirklich wert Messwert ist. Zu häufig finde ich unbrauchbares Info und nicht etwas, das wirklich relevant ist. Dank für Ihre harte Arbeit.

Well, I don’t know if that’s going to work for me, but definitely worked for you! Excellent post!

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.

WHAT IS A SNARK?

The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
