 great book September 18, 2008
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.
Good Beginning Encyclopedia April 11, 2008
A very good beginning encyclopedia of earth science. It is great for my ESOL students who need easy reading material.

I purchased this book as a gift for a young boy in Germany who is studying English. He wrote me a thank-you note (in English) saying tne book is "brilliant." Even the adults around him had great fun looking at this lively book. I was attracted to the interactive format of the book. It can be used with the internet.
AWESOME! February 23, 2006

This is a beautiful book that encourages children to learn about their world. Information is provided in bits, making it easy for children to digest. In addition, the internet links provide unlimited learning on the topics in the book. As far as the person who complained that they showed a photo of NYC without the World Trade Centers, I think you need to be aware that the book was published in 2002 and the WTC no longer was there, nor will ever be there in the future. Don't we need to depict the here and now truth in our books for children?
 Colorful book - bias presentation September 21, 2005
4 out of 45 found this review helpful
While the book is well made and quite educational, I can not avoid but see the bias of the publisher in presenting the "world." I almost wonder what world are they presenting? P. 52-53 the "City" depicting NYC without WTC, and the picture of a Mosque in the middle of their "city" (no other religious buildings there i.e. no church or synagogue near by). Living in post 9/11 America I find this offensive. This is certainly not the "world" I would want my child to live in.
