Of course we can’t forget about the library’s many excellent databases when we consider the question of asking and answering questions about science. Today let’s consider Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia. This is available as an ebook from the library’s Research & Homework page (https://lapl.org/collections-resources/research-and-homework). Find it in the alphabetical list under G.
Grizmek’s encyclopedia provides detailed articles about the animal kingdom and includes illustrations. Perfect for school animal reports or general curiosity (I was just side tracked into two articles worth of fun reading about dogs & cats as I tried to prepare this).
Once you’ve clicked into the encyclopedia from the library’s Research & Homework page look to the right for the “search within publication” box and type in the animal you wish to find and enjoy.
