Internet Linked
 The Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of World History $19.99 This is a well-written resource that I think should be a part of every collection. I find that everyone in the family (including myself) opens it to look up one thing and then ends up reading page after page for enjoyment. (Yes, we are kinda geeky like that!) The book is well-organized and indexed. It include color coding to indicate the region of the world where the events took place and timelines on almost every page. The book also includes bits of science and a lot of culture which helps to make it both well-rounded and intriguing. Although it is intended as a reference book, it contains enough interesting information and gorgeous pictures to make it enjoyable reading. My son who reads on a 2nd grade level is able to read much of the book and is not intimidated by it -which is partly due to a nice (comfortable) font size and the illustrations on every page. I am THRILLED with our purchase of this book!  Drawing Faces: Internet-linked (Usborne Art Ideas) $8.99 Drawing Faces: Usborne Art Ideas: Internet-linked (Usborne Art Ideas) is a book that is good for developing art skills. This is an excellent book for teaching art and/or crafts. It is full of fun projects that give you help and ideas to improve your ability to draw faces. Can be used in elementary school or with adults.  The Usborne Internet-Linked First Encyclopedia of Science $9.99 Nice simple science book. It's great to have several reference books and this is a great simple one!  The Usborne Complete Book of the Microscope: Internet Linked (Complete Books) $14.99 My granddaughter received a new microscope for Christmas and was delighted to receive the book too. The internet links will be most helpful. |
