Your World

By Angela Wilkes

Your World is designed to help today's youngsters find the answers to their many questions, either by themselves, or with the help of a parent or educator. With its thematic arrangement, Your World is fun and intuitive to use. Information is presented in context, a vital aid to comprehension for this age group. Many join-in activities and simple experiments - such as making a miniature erupting volcano or creating an imitation aquarium - invite participation. From Prehistoric Life to People and Places, and from Transportation to The Universe, the book covers all the subjects that spark a child's curiosity. Simple captions, step-by-step illustrations, clear text, and an easy-to-read index make this a book for children to grow with, and one that will prepare them for the next level of reference and nonfiction books.

Nice book for elementary school age!

My kids don't really pull this book out much; however, it has been used for a school report. It has interesting facts and is generally a good book. It sits on the bookshelf awaiting the need to more info :)

Great book to answer the "whys"

My preschooler has just begun the constant "whys", "hows", "whens" etc. This book has great pictures and text to explain why some things happen and how things work. While some of the text may go over his head right now, I think we will use this book into elementary school so we'll get our good out of it. There are also some simple activities to go along with some of the subjects to use for hands on learning. It covers just about every subject that a preschooler is going to encounter. So far it has been a great resource to have at our house.
