dewey - made fun *

      Each year, librarians and teachers face the same problem: how to make
      library skills, especially the Dewey Decimal Classification system (DDC)
      - more interesting.

      Thanks to a few cool Web sites, children will not only have fun learning
      about books, but they'll also be able to use those numbers when
      searching the Web.
