Product Description
The
Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia is entertaining and fun to use as well as being highly informative. Children can set off on a learning adventure via a magical 3-D landscape, where questions pop up at every turn to entice them into finding out. They can look up the answers using their portable (and customisable), multifunctional Navigator that entertains as well as informs. Or, for more serious research, they can move directly to the encyclopaedia itself, which is presented as a superb blend of words, pictures, animation and video. They are almost certain to find what they are looking for among the truly comprehensive range of subject matter--from ants to the constellations of the zodiac, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and from the art of early man to Zen Buddhism.
