The Kid's Guide to Research

I am 10 years old, going to 6th grade. I have permission from my dad to post this review. This book is all about kid's research, how to, when to, and where to do it. It is all explained throughly, and easy to understand. You should research in your public library, at home, and on the internet. Go to the library first, as it has most quick references. If there was anything you liked in an enclyclopedia or anything else you can't check out, go and photocopy the pages. Next go home to see if there are any other resources for you. Now go to the internet to fill any other blank spots. Now putting it on paper is very easy now that you understand your topic. This book is good for guidelines on how to research. I liked the book very much.

The Kids Guide to Research is a researcher's dream! Whether you are eight or eighty, this colorful, clear and consise reference book is an indispensible research tool. Kids Guide is packed with ideas and knowledge, yet breezy and fun to read and the perfect addition to any student's library.

Every child should have this. Every kid I know is a researcher at heart -- they have so many interesting questions and such a thirst for knowledge. This book gives them the power to find the answers themselves, rather than asking mom and dad and getting a half-baked hypothesis. Instead of allowing a child's brilliant thoughts disappear in frustration, give them Deborah Heiligman's book and the key to knowledge.

As homework increases in amount and complexity, both kids and their parents need help. Look no further. This is the perfect guide to research. It has everything your kid needs, including use of the Internet. This is destined to become a standard like the dictionary and thesaurus. My high school student uses her little sister's copy!
