 Not for younger kids April 27, 2006
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
I had purchased for my 9 year old (who is a very advanced reader and gifted student) the Usborne World History book. She LOVED that book, and has read it cover to cover several times. I figured that the Usborne Science Encyclopedia would be similarly interesting to her. Wrong. She has barely touched the Science Encyclopedia. The problem with the Science Encyclopedia is that it is very complex and written at a very high level. I wouldn't recommend it for a child less than 14 or 15 and maybe even beyond that.
However, as I have skimmed the book, it seems very good, good illustrations, good content. Just not for younger kids.
 Science Encyclopedia a wealth of information at low cost. February 24, 2006

My wife and I have enjoyed the Science Encyclopedia very much. The interweaving of the internet web sites make this a great information resource.
 A Must for All Homeschoolers! October 20, 2005
14 out of 29 found this review helpful
We are classically educating our children at home, and I was a little nervous about teaching chemistry to a 3rd grader. But this book allows you to study your topic in as much depth as you wish. In addition to the helpful websites (some are more helpful than others, admittedly), there are mini experiments and "see for yourself" projects that are fun, safe and educational. Theories are presented as theories, not facts. However, creation or "intelligent design" are not presented at all, which makes this encyclopedia incomplete. Other Christian homeschoolers may have a problem with the "800 million years ago..." jargon, but that's why we homeschool- to weed out the nonsense in our children's education. HOMESCHOOLERS: READ MY OTHER REVIEWS!
The binding is almost gone! September 29, 2005
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I bought this book for my kids 5 years ago, they are now 9 & 11 yrs old. They have used it so much the binding is almost worn off. The best thing about this book is how it lets the kids get as in-depth with a subject as they want. They can just glance over it without being overwhelemed or delve into a subject for weeks without running out of information. Great buy! It is one of 2 books I bought at the time that the kids still use, the other one was Usborne's Internet-linked Encyclopedia of World History.
Really great July 15, 2004

We got this book for our inquisitive-minded kid; it's great because it's plainly written but not in a condescending tone (my kid hates that!). The illustrations are really good too. Our son tried a few of the internet links which were really great. Then it disappeared to resurface in the bathroom! Let's just say it's become a parent favorite too!
