Wildlife Library

Aminals!

Wildlife Library, produced by the National Wildlife Association, located at
http://www.nwf.org/Wildlife/Wildlife-Library.aspx

Plot: A collection of information about the United State's wildlife. The library provides links describing the different classes of animals, as well as plant life, native to North America. Additionally, the site has pages dedicated to some of the most popular creatures, including gray wolves, bald eagles, and rainbow trout. Each page includes information about the creature's habitat, lifestyle, and appearance, as well as links to similar articles and adoption opportunities.

Genre: Websites, Animals, Biology, Science

Reading Level: Accessible and relevant to elementary-age students and tweens.

Personal Thoughts: The site is easy to navigate and attractive to view. Additionally, it provides information in an easy to read manner without appearing concending. However, it does tend to focus on famous animals, and it typically meshes less popular creatures, such as cacti and toads, under a single heading, despite the diversity of the creatures. Still, the site provides useful information, which may be especially appreciated as final projects for the school year approach.
