Lesson #1a World Book Encyclopedia School Edition

Question #1 
I decided to research the fossa just because I stumbled across it while browsing the World of Animals on World Book Kids and I had never heard of a fossa before. They are actually pretty cute. They had a very basic article and a decent picture on World Book Kids. Tried out the "hear it out loud" option and it works well though it is a choppy, computerized voice. Here is the citation for the article:
Fossa. (2014). In World Book Kids. Retrieved from

 Question #2 The article in World Book Student was easy to find. It was a little longer than the World Book Kids article and had a smaller picture. The World Book Kids version was more aesthetically pleasing but the Student article did provide more information although it was still very brief. It might have been that there just isn't that much information about fossas. Here is the citation for the Student article:
 Vogler, B. (2014). Fossa. In World Book Student. Retrieved from http://www.worldbookonline.com/student/article?id=ar753773
I looked up fossas in World Book Advanced just out of curiosity and it was the exact same article as the Student edition. Apparently fossas aren't as exciting as I thought they would be.

 Question #3
I was really impressed by the amount of information that came up when I did a search for Sweden in World Book Advanced. There were some many sources that came up besides just a encyclopedia article. It really is a one-stop shop for information. I like how it is divided into categories depending on what you need: tables, pictures, timelines, literature, etc. Once I clicked on the actual encyclopedia article, I really liked how it was laid out with easy links to specific parts of the article and once again more resources. I think the whole thing is wonderful, especially the related information box at the top of the page. There really shouldn't be any excuse for botching a research paper when you use this because it pretty much hands you everything you need.

Question #4 The World Book Discover is a lot simpler and cleaner design. I can see where it would be useful for remedial learning or ESL especially since it has the translate option on the right side.
