The Dewey Decimal System is really neat. It was created by a guy named Dewy who

performed quite a feat.He organized books in a special way

which makes it easy to find books for work or play.

Now this is only books filled with information.We call those nonfiction without hesitation.

Mr. Melville Dewey taught us to organize our collection.

So boys and girls can make an easy selection.Dewey numbers are used in libraries worldwide.

Let’s learn the numbers. Come along for the ride.
