The ten-song recording comes with the children's book "Dewey Doo-it Helps Owlie Fly Again," which is loosely based on the late Christopher Reeve's struggles with his physical disabilities. "Dewey meets a little owl in a wheelchair who can no longer fly," a book description states. "Can the helpful Doo-its use ingenuity and creativity to help the little owl learn to fly again? Can they Doo-it?"

The CD also features narration by Dana Reeve, the late actor's widow. Dewey books, according to the Dewey Doo-it website, "teach kids the value and importance of helping others. He nurtures in each child the qualities of selflessness, kindness and compassion."
