My eight-year-old does not enjoy reading, but she can sit with this book for an hour, looking at the pictures and learning about many different topics. She has the Scholastic Illustrated Dictionary as well, which is also a favorite.
Great place to start September 23, 2008

I have a very inquisitive 6 year old girl. She saw Grandma's encylopedia set a month or so ago and she wanted to read them all! Well, we don't have the space for a set, but this book has a little bit of everything. She will just grab it from the shelf and start going through it, and stop to read whatever catches her eye. If she needs MORE info, we go surfing! (On the WWW of course!) So glad we got this encyclopedia for her. It's also a great starting point for any studying (or exploring) we like to do.

My daughter got this book for her sixth birthday, and she loves it. She is just beginning to read but enjoys looking at the picture and having the text read to her. She has even asked me if we can get one to donate to her class.

This book is beautiful! My son, who hates to read, LOVES this book! I enjoy this book personally. The pictures are often times astounding and add so very much to the text. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! Each page is a new adventure of plain English that even a 9 year old can grasp.
If you are interested in getting a child's attention almost instantaneously, buy this encyclopedia. Oh it's also hardcover which is what my all male son needs to have the book for longer than one week! :)

I prefer my child to look things up rather than use the internet and this product really holds my childs interest. Looking up things in a book seems to help remembering the item too. Good research tool, good book to have in any classroom or home.
