Since 99% of public schools in the United States claim to have Internet access and more than half of all school-age children are using the Internet for homework. The e.encyclopedia Animal book takes homework to the next level.
This book presents information on everything from the Basilisk Lizard to Dolphins and Coral Reef Fish. There are classification charts, gorgeous full-color images and pages dedicated to each animal.
I love the picture of the Chinstrap Penguins wandering on the towering pastel blue icebergs. The photography is spectacular throughout this book.
To find out more about this magical world, this book also has "information keyword buttons." On this page you will find: Polar Regions. There is also a reference to page 195 and page 70 so you can read more about penguins and Polar Regions. The buttons are little gray dots with white words or white words are highlighted. They are easy to find and are blended in all over the pages.
By entering the site URL to a special area of the DK/Google site, you can find more detailed information. Then, you type in the keywords to find additional information, real-time reports, satellite images, virtual tours and databases. There are also downloadable images and just about everything kids need for homework and projects.
So, say you are researching Deep-Sea Fish and have traveled through this book arriving at say pg. 155. There, you will find pictures of Anglerfish, Megamouth Shark and Dragonfish. To access additional information, you go to the "DK/Google" site and type in the keyword: "deepsea fish." This takes you to a page with more options.
So, do you have to pay extra to use the e.encyclopedia website? No, it is free. The website address is located on the first page of the book. Once you purchase the book, the website is free.
This book covers a wide variety of subjects including: Animal World, Migration and Communication, Animal Habitats. The main chapters include: Invertebrates, Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals.
I think they have gone out of their way to make this kid friendly, however, even adults might be interested in finding many of the links.
You will also find answers to the following questions:
How Does a Fish Steer itself through water?
What does an Antarctic Jellyfish look like?
Do some land crabs really climb up palm trees to get coconuts?
DK & Google have joined forces to make homework fun. There is so much information here, I could spend hours just looking through page after page. e.encyclopedia will give your children a basic overview of animals. Not only will children find these facts intriguing, once they find a subject of interest, they can take their knowledge to the next level by continuing their research online.
What a brilliant idea!
