Teaser Tuesday: Dewey

November 18th, 2008 by monnibo

TEASER TUESDAYS ask you to:

  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page.
  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
  • Please avoid spoilers!!

Okay this one is kinda long… but I was SO amused by the whole passage when I was reading this weekend that I had to save it for Teaser Tuesdays!

I remember standing at the circulation desk one morning talking with Doris when we noticed a toddler wobbling by. She must have recently learned to walk, because her balance was shaky and her steps uneven. It wasn’t helping that her arms were wrapped tightly across her chest, clutching Dewey in a bear hug. His rear and tail were sticking up her in face, and his head was hanging down toward the floor. Doris and I stopped talking and watched in amazement as the little girl toddled in slow motion across the library, a very big smile on her face and a very resigned cat hanging upside down from her arms. … I knew that, despite appearances, Dewey was completely in control of the situation.

    Ha! That was sooo funny. I normally appreciate the 2 sentence rule but I can see why you couldn’t resist with this passage. The last line is my favorite. As a cat lover, I am wondering if this is a kitty version of Marley & Me, which was excellent – for a dog book :0) I am in-between books so didn’t have anything to post for TT this week. Maybe I’ll go find this book next – thanks!
