Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 6—Boasting over 4000 entries and 2500 brightly detailed illustrations and photographs, this resource is a must-have for any collection serving children. A two-page introduction explains how data is organized—entries are divided into 10 broad categories, among them "Space," "Culture," "History and Politics," and "The Human Body." The amount of information presented for each topic is just right, and a cross-reference icon ensures positive results for novice researchers. The book is a particularly good fit for ESL students and visual learners, as time lines, definitions, fast facts ("Flattened out, a pair of lungs would cover a tennis court"), maps, collections (e.g., a complete catalog of national flags), and short blocks of text fill every page to its fullest. This is a print reference work to rival the graphics-laden resources available electronically. It won't sit on the shelf.—Christina Connolly, Clark University, Worcester, MA END

I bought this for my first-grade son, who reads well but does not enjoy stories. This book is well laid out, full of engaging pictures, and of course a wealth of information. He loves it, and it leads to lots of interesting questions and conversations. Well worth the price.

This book is so good that I am going through it as an adult wanting to review all the basics once again. I think it is a must have for every home with kids. I am buying 2 more copies to give as birthday present. I think it is suitable for any kids above the age of 8.

This review is from: The New Children's Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
I'm a sucker for having reference books at my house. I know it's easy to look info up on the internet, but I like to have books to quickly look things up in. I'm a future teacher and I thought this would be a good book to have in the classroom, but I like it so much that I'm going to keep it for myself. The illustrations are wonderful and the information is useful. It covers a wide variety of topics; it doesn't go terribly in-depth but gives a nice general bit of information when you just want quick background knowledge about something.
