I have a question for you all about citations.
I am taking the images in the Wild Animals word book and expanding it to make book called “The Incredible Lives of Wild Animals: learning more about God through His creation.” It will contain quite a bit of information about the animals. Some of this information is common knowledge (what a croc looks like and hunts), but other information is more specific knowledge (that temperature during incubation determines the sex of their young). Most of the more specific information is still widely known. That is, it comes up multiple times in any google search.
I just glanced at Literacy International’s “Mountains” book and see that it doesn’t include citations, even though they had to have researched the information they present in the book. Having done a bit of research writing at university, I feel compelled by habit to cite that type of information 
But, I wanted to ask others what you think and what you have done (if you have developed new books). If I should cite these sources, how would I do it in a Bloom book?
Thanks so much!
