I used World Book Kids to research the camel. I learned that the dromedary camel has 1 hump and the bacterian camel has 2 humps. These humps are used to store fat, food, and water. Camels can range in size from 550-1500 pounds. The llama is the largest camel in South America, and the vicunas is the smallest camel in South America. I'm sure I learned this in school, but have since forgot that kind of information.
I enjoyed looking around between World Book Kids/ World Book On-line for Kids/ and the Info. Finder. I agree with "Ashley's SD Library Challenge" thoughts that the information offered in each area is the same. Is this for different "types" of learners? Does this make it easier for kids to research no matter their learning style?
I chose the camel since my three-year old grandson and I just rode on a camel at the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls. This gives me a chance to show him pictures and information about camels from my computer.
Wow, what an adventurous grandma you are! Thanks for your comments. Yes, the articles in World Book School Edition and Public Library edition are the same for each age level. Special features are somewhat different, though, so I hope you will take a few minutes to become familiar with them. Thanks for joining us here at the challenge, LovesLibraries. We are happy you are with us and look forward to future comments!
