Customer Reviews

A good first encyclopedia

This is one of my 4 yr old's most favorite books right now. It is also a book that we like to read to the kid. If you, like us, hear a lot of 'Why' , 'What' , 'How' from your kids, you will enjoy owning/reading this book. Padma

DK First Encyclopedia

I love that it is alphabetical order with many subjects and photos on each page along with (on many pages) references to other pages in the book that contain related information. I am sure my 6 year old grandson will love this. I also plan on giving a copy to my other grandchildren when they are old enough.

5 yr old loves it

Perfect balance of illustrations and facts. The best encyclopedia for young kids I've found.

Keeps my 3 year old at the potty!

I got this book to keep by the toilet (we are potty training). It was a smart move because this book keeps him totally mesmerized and makes him relax. It never gets old because there is so much information in this book for a young mind. It is not cluttered, but seems to be laid out with a child in mind. He particularity likes the castle and knight page. I'm considering getting the other books in this series too.
