In the Internet-Linked Science Encyclopedia there are over 1000 recommended websites!! And they even have review questions for each section. This is a great resource for school or any science projects as they also have hands-on experiments on almost every page. There are 3-6 websites to go to, for each topic.  

In the First Encyclopedia of Space, you have over 40 websites. Here you can read about living in space and then you can go to the web site listed and take a virtual tour of the International Space Station!

In Birds, you can find out on the internet how to build a bird feeder to attract birds to your garden, or adopt a bird of prey, or watch African birds and animals via live cameras, hear sound clips of birds singing from all over the world, follow the lives of a family of falcons via a “birdcam”, take a quiz about wetland birds, etc…

What’s a potential drawback to referring to particular web sites in a book?? Right, the addresses could change or go out-of-date even before the book is printed. Usborne Books, however, has also solved that problem by creating internet-linked books where the websites are accessed by direct links through our supporting website with full-time editors that are continually checking the links to make sure they are current and up-to-date. Usborne Books is the only publishing company to have such a resource!

So, to access any website described in our book, just go to our supporting web site, type in the keyword listed in the book, the page number for the website you want to look at and then the direct link to the website described will come up. t is a great feature for children to be able to easily and safely research on the internet as they can just click on the direct links at the web site instead of making mistake when typing in long addresses and ending up where you shouldn’t be.  

Usborne's internet-linked books save you time and will never go out-of-date - which saves you money!”
