Childrens Encyclopedia: The Usborne Internet-Linked (First Encyclopedias)
$14.99
It's great to have the use of the internet, but having an actual book in front of you to hold and read and flip through the pages is so much more appealing to me. This is a great starter encyclopedia for children to have from age 7 and up. It's great for homeschoolers also. When they go through the book, it will give you an idea of what their interests are and what they want to learn more about. The pictures are realistic, beautiful, colorful. There are so many things in it to learn and lots of tidbits about everything from the body, science, earth, animals, sports, religions, materials, dinosaurs, and on and on. Great encyclopedia to own.

This book is wonderful. I purchased it for my 6 year old and he loves to read it. Even my 3 year old loves it. They ask to read it each night before bed. It presents a lot of information, but it is also a great discussion starter book. We read some things and then talk about the subject even more. It also helps the kids to come up with their own questions on whatever subject we are reading. THe internet links are great also. This is a very all encompassing book that hits many of the highlights of Our World. I would recommend this book to any child interested in learning more about the world in which we live.

This is a well-written resource that I think should be a part of every collection. I find that everyone in the family (including myself) opens it to look up one thing and then ends up reading page after page for enjoyment. (Yes, we are kinda geeky like that!)

The book is well-organized and indexed. It include color coding to indicate the region of the world where the events took place and timelines on almost every page. The book also includes bits of science and a lot of culture which helps to make it both well-rounded and intriguing. Although it is intended as a reference book, it contains enough interesting information and gorgeous pictures to make it enjoyable reading.

My son who reads on a 2nd grade level is able to read much of the book and is not intimidated by it -which is partly due to a nice (comfortable) font size and the illustrations on every page.

I am THRILLED with our purchase of this book!

So far I have only skimmed through this book, but I am already impressed. It has lots of information, and great pictures. I can't wait to start using it in our curriculum.
