Ginny,

You are so right. I would add jokes and riddles to the lineup as well.

What a terrific discussion!

Before the topic changes, I'll note that somewhere along the way I noticed fleeting references to Poetry and to Folklore. The inclusion of these two literary forms in the Dewey Decimal System's "nonfiction" category has always confused kids. It also confuses most teaching about "nonfiction" in which all DDS nonfiction is included. Most of the messages on this topic haven't addressed Poetry or Folklore specifically, but I want to point out that in my opinion neither one really has a place in the topic of nonfiction.

Cordially, Ginny
