Wonder resource for early readers.,

This review is from: First Nature Encyclopedia (Dk First Reference) (Hardcover)
My daughter is 5 and we regularly look up information in this book. While the computer is very useful, too, I want her to know there are things called BOOKS that one can actually use to get information. The pictures are interesting and the sentence structure short and to the point so she can test her reading skills. I would recommend this for any young child who is interested in examining the great information contained in an encyclopedia. It is very simple..so don't expect wikipedia. And some somewhat unusual animals are not featured.

I ordered this for my four-year-old grandson who I am sitting for this summer. He is heavily into frogs and snakes and lizards and he loves this book. He carries it with him and is constantly asking to have it read to him. I had no idea he would love it this much. It is a wonderful learning tool and has spurred his interest in books.

6 Star Review,

This review is from: First Nature Encyclopedia (Dk First Reference) (Hardcover)
I really can't say enough about this encyclopedia. If you've read my reviews, we homeschool our 6 and 10 year olds and use various books from amazon to assist in their education. Our 6 year old is capable of learning quite advanced scientific concepts, but when it comes to reading from a book, she learns best with clear information that isn't too detailed. This book works very well with her bio science curriculum, as it's organized by habitats. The sections are: Polar Regions, Cool Forests, Rainforests, Grasslands, Deserts, Mountains and Caves, Freshwater Habitats, Ocean Habitats, and Towns and Cities.
Like all DK books, the photos are phenomenal with close-ups of various animals. Although the book won't have enough scientific depth for our 10 year old, I'm certain that she's going to spend hours flipping through it as well. The organization by habitat is just such a wonderful way of simplifying the study of animals. Wish I could give it 6 stars!
