The authors have collected a wide range of Internet and print resources on 99 familiar topics that will serve a wide range of abilities, readiness, and interest. Each topic includes useful keywords, a very brief summary of the topic, ideas for writing about the topic, and references....[c]hildren who are easily frustrated by complicated or lengthy directions will especially like using this book as a resource.
