Lions, and Tigers, and Bears

Encyclopedia of Animals is an Ebsco product
a full-text database of over 2,200 entries about the life and habitat of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and dinosaurs appropriate for the research needs of school students. Some entries include photographs.
According to the description this database is "appropriate for the research needs of school students". It looks like a traditional Ebsco product - blue, green, search boxes, no illustrations.

I've seen student friendly Ebsco products so I know they can do it. This particular product has the information but not the sparkle to pull a school (K-8) student in to look for the facts.

You may get the current password to use GALILEO at home from your Georgia librarian.
