Amazon.co.uk Review
From the history of the earth to outer space, from the basic structure of the human body to plants and flowers, and from cavemen to modern scientific breakthroughs,
The Usborne Animated Children's Encyclopaedia is packed with riveting information on just about everything.
With colourful, witty, cartoon-style illustrations and bite-size, easy-to-digest text, this clever book-- stunning in its simplicity--is a must for children with a thirst for knowledge, and is an excellent book for anyone who has ever struggled with the homework blues. The accompanying, fully narrated CD-ROM adds an intriguing depth to the facts and figures and encourages children to explore each entry for themselves by using exciting animation and fun-to-do quizzes to cultivate the seeds of information that are laid down in the book.
Used together, the Encyclopaedia and CD-ROM cleverly complement each other, taking the young mind on an adventure that is as much fun as it is educational. --Susan Harrison
