What is the best software kids encyclopedia?
Q. My 8 years old is starting summer break and I want him to get familiar with a software encyclopedia so I can give him a daily 'homework' about learning something new that interest him. He likes to use our computer to play games and I thought that maybe he'll like the idea about using a computer program to learn about general things. Thanks all of you for your help.

What is a good kid friendly encyclopedia of animals?
Q. My son is almost three and is fascinated by animals. He already knows all the household, barn and most zoo animals and is constantly wanting to know more about them and learn about new ones. I would like to get him a good encyclopedia with lots of pictures. It doesn't have to be a child's book as he already knows about all the basics, but I do want to get him one with lots of full colored pictures and general information - what they eat, where live, etc. I live in a very rural area and don't have any good bookstores around so something I can order online is ideal. If you know of any websitesI could show him that would be great too. Thank you!

A. You can try freecycle - it's a community where people give their stuff away to other members of the community. I think it's something like freecycle.com. You can check and see if one has been set up in your community. (I read about this about a year ago but I'm sure it's still around.)

Also, it was compiled in the days of the "British Empire", and the prejudices of that time jump out of the pages, along with racial content.
