The Dewey Decimal System is a way to keep items in order by subject. It helps you find what you are looking for! In this system, books are numbered, from 000 to 999, and every topic has a number. The more specific the topic, the more specific the number. For example, you can find nonfiction books about spiders in the 595.4s.

What a nightmare!

“Nightmares can be triggered by anything—something you have seen or experienced, a scary TV show, a horror story, computer game, or even just a shadow on the wall. If you keep having nightmares, see if you can speak to someone you trust. They may be able to help you discover what might be worrying you.”

I’m a muse!

“Baseballs have a core of rubber-coated cork (called the “pill”) surrounded by layers and layers of ordinary yarn. A cowhide shell (sewn together with that classic red stitching) keeps everything com-pressed and wound tight inside.”

Dear Readers, You can learn a lot from a scary short story. Here are three things I learned from the new book called Hide and Don’t Seek: 1. If someone gives you a doll that looks exactly like you and is exactly the same size, leave it in the box. 2. If someone asks you to play hide and seek in a cornfield after midnight, maybe read a book instead. 3. Never ever ever complain about vampires to strangers. As always, fangs for listening! Love, the Editor
