Kavi Checks Twice

Kavi the owl has a big question to answer. He opens one fact book — but then he stops. "One book is just one voice," he hoots. "What if it's out of date, or leaves something out, or is simply wrong? I'll find a second source too — a website this time." He reads both, side by side. "Now I can see where they agree, where they differ, and where each one fills the other's gaps — that's real research!"
