DK Children's Encyclopedia: The Book that Explains Everything

Fantastic photographs, clear diagrams and illustrations, concise facts and age appropriate accessible text all come togeather in this great Children's Encyclopedia. It covers a range of subjects including geography, nature, history, science, art to name a few and handily colour codes the pages accordingly. Whilst the weight of this book does not lend itself to whole class teaching, it is perfect to use in small groups to reinforce the features of non fiction books - contents page, index, glossary etc The children were thrilled when they realised they could retrieve the information from the encyclopedia on a given topic and because if the layout of the page, all the children could access the information either visually from the photographs, illustrations, diagram or the different depth of text and headings. Another useful feature was the 'see also' section on each page, suggesting other listings that could be cross-referenced, allowing the reader to expand their knowledge further if desired. 304 pages / Ages 7+ / Reviewed by Laura Anscombe, teacher.
