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.
I got this for my twin girls who are in third grade. They think it is a very interesting book and enjoy reading the entries and learning about various things. For that, Scholastic hit a home run. The one big downside is that the number of entries is limited, and some things I would expect to be in a child's encyclopedia are missing. Also, it has a decidedly liberal slant, which is great if you are a liberal and not so great if you are conservative and, either way, wish to share that view of the world with your children.
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.
I think that this book is a good start to teach your children how to look up subjects and reference material. It doesn't have a whole lot of subjects, but it is only one book. I only ask now where is the rest of the set?
The book itself is good, with brief descriptions of content areas, however, the book is hardback and 2 inches thick. It was shipped in a thin paper envelope, and of course, it arrived with smashed corners. It took a month to be delivered also. Mine was to be given as a gift at Christmas so I had many apologies to give the children. If you buy this, just make sure you know the company first.
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 bought the Scholastic Children's Encyclopedia from recently for help with school. In the short time I've had it it has already come in handy many times. I think every family should own one. Great value.
