MSN Encarta: Michelangelo
"Encarta is another great site for school reports, also with a built-in citation generator. But these citations lack both the date you viewed the page, and the exact URL of the article. Check with your teacher about the exact bibliographic format you need to use. While you are here, don’t miss the multimedia gallery. It contains twelve annotated artwork images, and a page of Michelangelo Quick Facts. "Michelangelo was a celebrated poet during his lifetime: about 300 of his poems survive.""

Mozart’s Magical Musical Life
"Once upon a time, when men wore powdered wigs and rode in gilded carriages, ababy boy was born in the beautiful town of Salzburg. The little boy’s name was Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophillus Amadeus Mozart. Can you imagine writing that on the top of your paper in school? Thus begins the whimsical, musical biography of Wolferl (for short). Liberally sprinkled with audio clips, this outstanding story reminds me of those Play-a-Sound children’s books with sound buttons for each character. This click-and-play biography is a must-see site for kids of all ages. Bravo!"
