Review Detail

“Britannica All New Kids’ Encyclopedia: What We Know & What We Don’t,” edited by Christopher Lloyd, with more than 100 experts in their fields, including discussion of space, animals, wars, mummies, brain science, and so many more, contains not only lots of facts, but tons of images, full page spreads, quizzes, timelines, and more.

From information about rocks and minerals to details about calendars, plasma, energy, the Renaissance, women’s voting rights, civil rights, endangered animals, the media, ecology, and far more topics than can possibly be named here, there is almost literally something for everyone. Some of the pages have “Ask the Experts!” questions and answers with worthwhile points to make every interested reader feel engaged and invested in the content provided.

The quizzes throughout have multiple choice questions with answers provided below to further solidify the knowledge learned throughout the pages of this encyclopedia. There are even lots of lists and diagrams so no matter what type of learner you are, there is something to grab your attention and allow you to follow along in as clear a manner as possible with all of the facts that line the pages.

Encyclopedias are always interesting, and this one is no different, with no page left unturned in terms of fully focused material.
