World Book Online Info Finder

What a great resource!

I again researched manatees and found a large amount of information right at my fingertips. When comparing the two, the world book online info finder offers more in depth details whereas the world book online for kids gives the basic information.  The info finder explains the three different types of species,  several characteristics about manatees, describes what they eat and how they reproduce.  It also uses a wider vocabulary than world book online for kids and then gives you the option to click on any word to have it defined for you.  They both give the children the options to have the article read to you or translate it into another language. This resource will make writing a research paper a breeze, but it is also fun to just sit down, explore and learn!
