| 9781932146318 | What Marion Taught Willis | Brook Berg | From School Library JournalGrade 1-3–This ambitious sequel to What Happened to Marion's Book? (Upstart, 2003) attempts to explain the Dewey decimal classification system. When Marion Hedgehog announces that "Nothing is more exciting than being a librarian!" Willis Anteater can barely contain his scorn and amusement. In response to his teasing, Marion dares her classmate to come with her to the Media Center during recess, and he reluctantly agrees. She leads him to the nonfiction shelves and shows him the story of Perseus and Medusa–"This book is like the original video game." Pictures of the hero battling the monstrous Gorgon capture the skeptic's imagination. Then Marion shows him the meaning of the word "dynamic" in the dictionary, an adjective she had used to describe him, which he mistakenly viewed as an insult. Finally, the would-be librarian leads him to the 600s to learn about bike repair, a subject dear to his heart. His question, "How do you know all this?" prompts a philosophical lecture on the system, which is "sort of arranged like a person growing up." The subsequent explanations are in simple language, but the concepts may be beyond many youngsters and may also evoke questions such as, if the 100s are all about oneself, why are the human body books in the 600s? Unfortunately, the didactic text is paired with flat, unappealing computer-colored cartoons in a dissonant mix of hues.–Barbara Auerbach, New York City Public SchoolsCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
