The Kingfisher Children's Encyclopedia

By Kingfisher Publications

Book Overview

This new edition of the popular The Kingfisher Children's Encyclopedia covers an astoundingly broad range of subjects from Australian Aborigines, balloons and airships, and the latest computer innovations, to an understanding of the universe, warfare, women's rights, and an examination of x-rays and zoology.

The encyclopedia is alphabetically organized with headwords arranged in the top left-hand corner of every page. Authoritative text offers thorough coverage of each subject, while bright and informative original artwork, photographs, and captions really maximize the learning potential and enhance the textual information. Cross-reference boxes encourage further reading, while fact and chronology boxes provide clear, quick reference points for homework and fact-checking. A fact-finder at the back of the encyclopedia has a timeline of key historical events and personalities from around the world.

Excellent book for homeschooling

This is an excellent book and a great value with lots of interesting illustrations and excellent content. We use it for homeschooling and am very happy with it. You will not be disappointed!

Great book for the homeschooling family!

I just recently purchased this book and absolutely love the layout! This very easy to use resource is the perfect "go-to" guide for kids 7 and up, and adults will enjoy pouring over it's content as well! Complete with an easy to understand summary of symbols and captions used throughout the encyclopedia, your young child can find his/her way through this book while gaining a better understanding of the world around us. It captivates the user with wonderful color illustrations as well as actual photographs that bring reality to each topic. I can't wait to put it to use in our homeschooling endeavor!
