This review is from: 2010 Britannica Student Encyclopaedia (Hardcover)

I love this little encyclopedia set so far. The graphic format is very straightforward, nothing flashy to distract kids from the relevant info. The books are relatively small and light, easy to open and browse. Paragraphs are short and seem to be well written for young audiences. I can't speak much to content because my experience is too limited, but I am definitely looking forward to putting this set through its paces with Grade 1-3 reference classes next school year.
