Critical Evaluation
WOW! This is an amazing database. I wish I had discovered it a few years ago. My daughter is in sixth grade in an accelerated program and this is perfect for her. She is currently working on a project about Edward Jenner who discovered the vaccination for small pox. So I browsed the database looking for information about him and small pox. There was a wealth and variety of information. We will definitely be using this database for many years to come in my home.
