Non-fiction Explanation

[Tracey Donaldson <Bookluv@AOL.COM>]

Hello All,
        I am discussing various nonfiction dewey sections with my second graders.
I'm interested in hearing how some of you explain why things like fairy tales
(398.2), which are clearly made up, are located in the nonfiction section.
Also, why is poetry and literature located in the nonfiction section.  I just
haven't come up with a good explanation, in my opinion.  Thank you!  If
there's interest I will post a hit.
