Sometimes students have a hard time remembering the purpose of each type of reference book.
A "trick" that might be helpful to them is this:
Dictionary---Defines
Thesaraus---The same
Encyclopedia---Explains
Atlas---Where it's At
Almanac---All the facts
Unfortunately, I don't remember where or from whom I got this so that I can give credit where it's due. : (
Happy Reading,

I love this. If you find out who wrote it, let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.
