[LM_NET] NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: The Great Dewey Hunt: A Mrs. Skorupski Story by Toni Buzzeo

[Toni Buzzeo <tonibuzzeo@TONIBUZZEO.COM>]

Hello Colleagues,

It's come to my attention that I FORGOT to announce my new Mrs. 
Skorupski book published by Upstart.  I remember mentioning it this 
winter before it was published but it's available now.

The book grew out of a project I did at Hanson Elementary School here 
in Buxton, Maine in which multi-age classes of fourth and fifth 
graders sponsored a Dewey decimal system treasure hunt for second 
graders.  It proved to be a fabulous way to teach second graders 
Dewey and to review with fourth graders.  The book stars the 
inimitable librarian, Mrs. Skorupski (known to so many from her 
previous books, Our Librarian Won't Tell Us ANYTHING! and Fire Up 
with Reading) and includes the cranky Carmen as well as her aspiring 
detective little sister Freida.

I hope you'll find the book to be a great support for teaching Dewey 
whether or not you recreate the entire treasure hunt.

It's available from Upstart, of course, as well as your jobbers.  But 
I wanted to mention that if you have a need for all three Mrs. 
Skorupski titles, you can order them at a great discount using this 
code: H165143.  That will get you all three titles for $45.

As usual, the curriculum guide is available as a link on my website. 
I'm working on a Reader's Theater script for the book as well! I'll 
pop in to mention it when it's complete.

Best, Toni
