Internet-Linked Book

To help my group create our webquest, I came across a book that I've owned but have not yet used. It is called The Usborne Book of Peoples of the World-Internet Linked. It offers Usborne-recommended web sites to take you further into the subject in an interactive and fun way. The book is also a vibrant source of information as well. The book allows you to travel from continent to continent and explore and get to know the people of the area including their cultures, beliefs, homes, jobs, traditions, etc. Each page of information offers an internet link to valuable information including slide shows, virtual tours, etc. (Leslie and Kate, the following will help us. Try to check it out before our next class so we can use some of the sites for our webquest.) For example, when learning about the Rainforest peoples, you can read the page and then visit the website http://www.usborne-quicklinks.com/usa/usa_homepage.asp. Enter the key word peoples for links to:
website 1: http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/programs/education/teachers/curriculum/brazil/slideshow/index.html It offers slideshows and other information for grades k-8. Click on the Learning Site Home to begin navigating. (Leslie and Kate, I thought this would be helpful to the creation of our webquest.)
Website 2: http://www.eduweb.com/amazon.html .
Website 3 wouldn't attach for some reason and I couldn't open it up. It has a video. (If anyone sees it, let me know how it is and if it would be useful in an elementary classroom.)

Does anyone have any experience with internet linked texts such as this one? The book seems to balance old and new literacies. I'd love to know if there are anymore out there like this one. Also, if anyone is interested in seeing the book, I'll have it in class on Tuesday.
