Customer Reviews

The Usborne Internet-linked Encyclopedia is amazing!

As a homeschooling mother of five, this book covers everything we need!

Usborne Children's Encyclopedia

My 6 year old calls this one "my reader." She'll sit down and pour over the pages for an hour! Great info and the internet connection makes the book even better. We own a good handful of Usborne encyclopedias and all 4 of my children enjoy them!

Childrens Encyclopedia: The Usborne Internet-Linked (First Encyclopedias)

Every night before my 7 years old son goes to sleep, he randomly selects three pages that he like us to read from. That way he and I both learn new things about the world around us. Sometimes what is below and sometimes what is above. I cannot tell you how knowledgeable this book is. Certainly for children, especially if they are between the ages of 4-10 years, this is a fantastic gift. Enjoy!

Children's Encyclopedia

It's great to have the use of the internet, but having an actual book in front of you to hold and read and flip through the pages is so much more appealing to me. This is a great starter encyclopedia for children to have from age 7 and up. It's great for homeschoolers also. When they go through the book, it will give you an idea of what their interests are and what they want to learn more about. The pictures are realistic, beautiful, colorful. There are so many things in it to learn and lots of tidbits about everything from the body, science, earth, animals, sports, religions, materials, dinosaurs, and on and on. Great encyclopedia to own.

Great Resourse for a younger child

I have been homeschooling my 5 year old using the Usbourne Children's Encyclopedia. Great intro to social studies and geography. I just use one page at a time and make up a list of questions that I use afterwards to see if he remembers and if not we discuss the topic such as how are rainbows made again until he understands. Great for his attention span at this age. After this book, I plan to then use the Usborne Encycl. of Geography. We have not yet used the internet part of the book, but that also looks promising. Great value if you read the book and not just use the book as a resource.

Great Book for Little Ones at a Bargain Price!

This encyclopedia has an excellent coverage in an easy to understand language for elementary lower grades. I bought it for my son who is at second grade reading level and enjoys geography and science. This encyclopedia has the same content as its bigger edition, which costs about $21. Only that this is more handy and still has a good size print. The pictures are beautiful. Altogether, it worths more than what I paid for. What a deal!
