My dd asks lots of questions and sometimes I don't have all the
answers and by time we get to the library I forget to look them up or
she has forgotten about them. She is only 5 so can't do much research
on her own. Is there any child friendly websites that I can get some
answers to her questions or should I buy an encylopedia?

I love the online public encyclopedia www.Wikipedia.org and for most issues
or image needs I just use the increasingly wonderful Google.

Wikipedia is great like Robyn said, when my kids were
smaller they uses AskJeeves for kids all by
themselves. Our biggest problem is them asking
questions when for some reason we can't stop and look
something up. So we have a chalkboard and they write
their questions there for later research, this way we
don't forget. ELISA

Encyclopedias go out of date too quickly, I "google" most things I want
to know more about!

When my 4 year old ask a question that I don't know
the answer to, I almost always go to the internet
(versus going to the library). Most of the time I
just go to google and find the answer and then explain
it to him. Sometimes he will come to the computer
with me and we will look up the answer together.

There is also http://yahooligans.yahoo.com/ which is a
web guide for kids, and
http://www.ajkids.com/index.asp?origin=0&meta=1 which
is the kid version of "ask jeeves" -- but I sometimes
think pages like this are harder to get the answers we
are looking for.

I find Google is my best friend... you can type in a question and *poof*,
usually an answer. I haven't stumped it yet lol... my son asked why the moon was
out in the day once, and, gee, I never thought about it much. So, I learned
something too. I just "googled" "moon out during the day" and I had a bunch
of results.
