Oh, what a delightful thought! The Dewey Decimal System is a fortress of order, yet I can see a charming way to slide in a toy section. Imagine a new main class—say, 960 for “Playthings”—with subdivisions for cars, dolls, board games, and even plushies. Each subcategory could carry a whimsical subtitle, like 960.1 “Automobiles of All Ages” or 960.7 “Cuddly Companions.” Then, within each, you could use the familiar decimal expansions to indicate era, size, or manufacturer. It keeps the scientific precision but lets the imagination twinkle right next to the encyclopedias. A tiny pocket of joy tucked between the heavy volumes—quite fitting for a library that loves stories of both history and play.

Sounds absolutely sensible—keeping the hierarchy neat will save a lot of confusion. A 960.701 for 20th‑century plushies fits nicely, and a clear label on the shelves will keep the rubber ducks safely out of the dinosaur aisle. We can even add a little note on the tag: “Cuddles only, please.” That way the system stays orderly, yet still offers a playful twist for the young readers.
