I was looking in Usborne books today and found this page that lets you look for topics and go to their approved websites for that topic. For instance, we are studying horses this week and I went to "beginner horses and ponies" and one of the 4 links led me to a 4-H site where he could groom a horse by picking and dragging the correct brush/comb, etc. Also on butterflies, it had a video that watched the caterpillar turn into a butterfly in fact-mo. I have barely explored it but it looks great! http://www.usborne-quicklinks.com/usa/usa_full_book_list.asp
You can't use this site unless you have the specific book from Usbourne! They have "Internet Linked" books (we have a science one). They will give a topic, then list different web sites WITHOUT the link. You go to the Usborne site, and then must type in a key word. YOU CANNOT ACCESS THESE SITES WITHOUT THE KEY WORD!!! I know; I tried. If you click on one of those topics, they bring up a page asking for the Key word.
Now I'm confused!!! I tried one, and it wouldn't let me connect (as I said above). Then I typed on a different one, and it gave me the links. Maybe it just depends on the topic....?
I'm sorry, on the right column at the bottom is a link that says "complete list of titles" Here you may click on any topic.
