Lesson 1

The mammal of my choice is the black bear.  World Book Kids gives basic information on a level that young children will understand.  With World Book Student I found much more information on their life, habitat, body build, and behaviors.

I decided to look up South Africa.  I spent much time using most of the tool provided.  I feel the students and adults that visit our library could find most any information that they would need.  We have many patrons from South Africa and I can use this to find out more about their way of life and they could use World Book to find out about us.  Also being able to translate would be very useful to them.

World Book Discover will be useful with our patrons because they would be able to study our country in English or their own language. Two years ago I was working with two men from South Africa and this would have been so helpful. If only I would have known this kind of World Book was available.

    We're glad you are taking the Challenge to learn what kind of information is available! Thanks for your good work here. Did you notice that World Book also has sounds, such as national anthems and folksongs? Thanks for your comments, Lesa!
