Museum Mania™ has added a brand new addition to its family.

Meet Dewee Decimal. Dewee is an adorable little caterpillar who thinks he's a bookworm.
Dewee, along with his buddy, Libby O'Congress, a preteen butterfly, love to `hang out' at their local public library. In a beautifully illustrated story book, author, Candace Jackson, make these critters come alive. These very library literate critters take two children on a delightful and comprehensive learning experience, in their public library. Dewee and Libby teach the children how to use:

Did you know that Melville Dewey invented the Dewey Decimal system in 1873, way after they discovered gold near San Francisco? Did you know that you generally have to make a reservation at your local library to use the Internet access computer? Did you know that most public libraries use the Dewey Decimal Classification System, while most colleges use the Library of Congress Classification System?

Besides learning from the story, A Treasure Hunt in My Library A Treasure Hunt in My Library (ISBN 1-892240-00-9), your classroom can experience the hands-on treasure hunt that awaits them in their own public library. There are three supplemental grade specific treasure hunts for grades K-7 in one book that Museum Mania™ has developed. My Very Own Library Treasure Hunt (ISBN 1-892240-01-7)

Turn library literacy into a complete social science unit. An ideal way to encourage family participation. Curriculum suggestions are free when book and treasure hunts are purchased for the classroom.

Here is what Susan Roman says:

“A Treasure Hunt in My Library is just the kind of book that can make some children feel comfortable at their public library. It’s a mixture of fun and lots of information, with a treasure hunt at the base for learning all that libraries have to offer. Parents, who themselves do not feel at ease in the library, can learn right along with their children as they hunt for the treasures.”
