ENCYCLOPEDIA

An encyclopedia is a set of

books that tells interesting

facts. Each book is in ABC

order and they are in sets of

books. I would use an

encyclopedia to find the thing

I’m looking for. I looked up

video games and I leaned that

they all have to have a

joystick or a control pad with

buttons/or a keyboard.

THIS IS A THESAURUS

A thesaurus is a book of synonyms.

It is in ABC order and has guide

words in it so you can find a word.

You can use a thesaurus to look up

synonyms. I found the word flag or

you can use the word banner. You

can also use a thesaurus to find a

word like “problem” you can use the

word – question, mystery, puzzle or

riddle instead. I think you will like

this book.

THIS IS A DICTIONARY

A dictionary is a book that helps

you spell the word that you need.

It also tells the meaning of the

word. It is in ABC order. It has

guide words on the page to help

to find the word. It can help you

spell the word and find the

definition. I looked up the word

small. It means little. I gave Mrs.

Carter a small pieces of a pizza.

ALMANAC

An almanac is a book of facts

and events in a year. It’s

organized by a table of

contents. To find fun fact and

subjects. In the 2012 almanac

it tells about an earthquake

in Japan that happened in

March 2011 and caused a

huge tsunami. .

THIS IS THE ATLAS.

The atlas is a book about

maps. The atlas is organized

with a table of contents. I

would use it to find parts of

the world. I could use the

atlas to find how many miles

it would be to travel to

Mexico city and which roads

we should take.
