Ok, I know I'm not real good at computer technology but world book foreign edition was to hard for me to navigate.  At least the kids could hear the actual language being spoken, that would probably be very interesting to them.
Well, I'm behind in the Challenge and now I'm going back to catch on some that I missed earlier.  I checked out Penguins in the World Book Kids edition.  I really liked the fact that it was written simply but with lots of information.  The part that read to the kids will be so helpful when helping the child I work with at school research papers.  She has a hard time reading and this will help tremendously.

Wow, so much more information for the older child.  Love the fact you could hear the sound of the Penguins.

I looked up Belize and found the maps very interesting.  Liked the fact that they even had current events of that country.  Very informative.  I think writing research papers would be so much easier now than when I was a child.  Everything you could want to know on a country in one spot.

Love Proquest, who knew all that info was out there?  I wanted to see if there was a publication for Librarians and found American Library.  Also found information on Library Technicians.  Very informative.
I started in the middle of the Library Challenge and this was the first assignment I've tried.  It took me a little while to figure out what I was doing in the Gale Research section but I think I figured it out.  I looked up Zinc and was surprised at the amount of information available.  I also like the fact that it will read it to you if needed.
