Review Detail

BRITANNICA ALL NEW KIDS' ENCYCLOPEDIA is a thrilling collection of knowledge. The encyclopedia is organized into different sections, starting with the universe, going into Earth, matter, life, humans, human history, and traveling into today and tomorrow. It is fully illustrated throughout.

What I loved: This is such an incredible collection of information for curious kids! The book covers an amazing breadth of topics and information, all written in an approachable way and fully illustrated with a great use of color, photographs, and art. Each page includes at least one, but usually several, images to help support the topic, along with interesting facts, pull-outs, and engaging paragraphs. Information is displayed in a variety of ways, including timelines, facts, and boxes with plenty of color and images along the way.

The knowledge check quizzes at the end of each section added to the fun, allowing children to test what they've learned with multiple choice (answers at the bottom). Backmatter of a glossary and index is very helpful in furthering understanding and finding what you are looking for.

The future section was a particular favorite, inviting children to explore and consider what things may look like as the world continues to grow and change. Curious readers will love thinking about the ways that they may contribute or be part of the expanding knowledge of the future. The book really encourages readers to think critically and consider what we don't yet know along the way.

Final verdict: BRITANNICA ALL NEW KIDS' ENCYCLOPEDIA is a thrilling collection of knowledge that engages curious readers in exploring the world around them, while also considering all the things left to learn! This would make a great gift for children who love to learn.
