I devised this very project with a group of fourth and fifth graders 
last year and it was fabulous (Ha! Great minds and all.)  We then 
staged a Dewey scavenger hunt for the second graders at the 
shelf.  In fact, it's going to be the adventure in a new Mrs. 
Skorupski book from Upstart!

Best,
Toni
