First reference it is not - the animal book is a real first reference for my 3 year old daughter, and she loves it, but she's not really up to atoms & discovering medicines yet...so second reference might be a better title for this lovely book.

We have added DK encyclopedias to enhance our homeschool curriculum, such as the First Dinosaur Encyclopedia and the First Space Encyclopedia, and this one is one of the best!
It covers space science, earth science, physical science and life science. The photographs and illustrations are the best I have ever seen in a children's encylopedia. I loved the science timeline which includes famous scientists, inventors, and some of the world's biggest discoveries in history (ex: x-rays, Vitmain C, and DNA). Everything from microbiology to geology, and then some.
I was really pleased when my 4 yr old recognized the periodic table of elements (very detailed). That section also discusses all the different ways we use the elements.
I also recommend Here Comes Science by They Might Be Giants.
