Note to Teachers and Librarians:

Please feel free to reproduce the following scavenger hunt. It was first written by Vernoy Paolini and Vicky Turner, enrichment teacher and library media specialist at Lounsberry Hollow School in Vernon, NJ, who agreed to share it with other educators on my website.  It has now been updated to include more parts of my website. You may want to offer a prize for most correct answers to add some extra encouragement or incentive. This is an excellent way to teach students about researching, reading, and writing as well as about James M. Deem, in preparation for a school visit.]
