Target: Encyclopedias for Elementary Schools

[LORI LORANGER <lorangl@GW.KIRKWOOD.K12.MO.US>]

I am in a K-5 school.  Our print encyclopedias are getting old (in
encyclopedia years) and will soon need to be weeded.  I was planning
on replacing one set this year.  Since we have several encyclopedias on
CD-ROM and access to several online, I am not planning on having as
many sets in print as we have had in the past, but I don't want to get rid
of them entirely.   My question is:  What print encyclopedias would you
recommend for an elementary school?  I have used World Book and
Compton's quite a bit, but am not as familiar with some of the others,
such as Grolier's.

I'll post a hit.  TIA!
