Dewey and the alien had a fabulous day.  He invited the alien to visit the library where he worked.   Dewey gave him a tour of the library and explained how his decimal classification system worked.

While there, they decided to make a memory of their day on Planet Earth by making a scrapbook.  They wrote what will become history sooner or later - their day together!

As the Alien prepared to leave, he told Dewey, "When I get back
to my planet, I want to group all my books in this new awesome way.  But, which hundred group should I put my scrapbook in?"

Dewey replied, "That's easy!  You would put it in the 000s - General Works.  That's where we put encyclopedias because they contain so much information that you can't describe them in one category!"
