Do You Know Dewey?: Exploring the Dewey Decimal System

32 pp. | Millbrook | September, 2012 | Library ISBN 978-0-7613-6676-8 $22.60
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff. "The Dewey decimal system keeps nonfiction in its place. / Books are grouped by subject, such as art or outer space." The system's organization is elucidated in jaunty if occasionally faltering rhyme. Chaotic illustrations show hyper kids exploring an Egyptian tomb in the 400s, running from a dinosaur in the 500s, etc. An appended note gives more details about this "secret code."
