Format:Hardcover
Our whole family has devoured the 2000 edition of this book, from the 6 year old to the grandparents. It's a great easy reference book for basic information prior to looking things up in more detail on the internet or in specialist books. It covers all sorts of popular people, places and things, as well as history, concepts and ideas. Items are alphabetically listed, with a huge index and various cross-references, complete with illustrations, photos and maps. Once you read one page, you can't help but start on the next item. Great for children to stretch their reading abilities on, and for adults alike as it's just an interesting read. Every household should have a copy!

Remembering with affection a pictorial encyclopaedia I had as a 5-8 year old I set out looking for something suitable for my 4 1/2 year old grandson. There are plenty of contenders out there and it took a while to narrow my search down to a manageable number. I eventually went with this one because, a) It appeared to be pitched at the younger child without being babyish, b) the size and breadth of content indicated it would give an overview and stimulate further research, and c)previous experience of books by the publisher - Dorling Kindersley, have left me with confidence in their product.
Happily, when the book showed up it was EXACTLY what I'd been looking for! A quality product with enough, really well researched and presented information to keep any 5 - 10 year old (and their parents/grand-parents!) amused for hours on end. In addition, every single topic has a 'safe' URL for the child to look up on their parents computer in order to gather more information on the subject.
Well done Dorling Kindersley and Amazon - an excellent purchase

We bought this for my 7 year old's birthday. He loves it and it's full of great info. But be warned, it is really heavy! DK always makes lovely looking books and this one is no exception.

Very nice, but very big and heavy
Did not expect this book to be so big and heavy, which makes it hard to sit with. The book covers all.

I bought this for myself, (supposed adult!?) it's not as "boring" as an adult encyclopedia. There's plenty of information for all ages.
