 Great encyclopedia November 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book for children to have in their homes. I am still a believer in having the actual book in front of them. An encyclopedia that you can hold and glance through makes it easier to catch the eye on topics that may interest them. This is internet linked also if they want to find out more about certain topics. This is colorful and very informational. We love it.
Excellent resource! January 16, 2007

I'm a homeschooling mom and discovered Usborne books about 1 month ago. The internet linked books are fabulous because they include links to websites. These websites have so much information to supplement what we are learning.
For example, my 10 yr old and I are learning abour Space this week. We've been reading about the space shuttle and astronauts. In addition, once we went to the Usborne site it directed us to an interactive activity. We were able to simulate a shuttle launch and we also completed a space mission by making the needed repairs to a module.
Activities such as these are helping to reinforce what we're reading and that's why I recommend the Usborne internet-linked books.
 A Great Resource of the First Encyclopedia Series August 5, 2004

I have never really like the cartoon pictures Usborne has used in the past, however these colorful pictures are very impressive. There are bright pictures on each page - the layout is orderly and informative, not overcrowded. The contents of this book seems to be a compilation of the other "First Encyclopedia" series with a few different pictures. I have noticed that some of the information from the original series has been omitted or moved to different sections.
The topics are: Our World, Animals and Plants, How Your Body Works, History, How People Live, Science, How Things Work, Space, Maps of the World, and a section on interesting facts.
It is big and chunky, so not a very friendly couch book like the actual series, although it is definetly a great resource. We use it as our science spine for elementary grades.
