DK Children's Encyclopedia: The Book that Explains Everything Hardcover – October 10, 2017

This is a very well done and comprehensive book, with interesting photos and facts for young children. For example, going to a random section, the section on "Eating" covers food from around the world, eating in space, early ancestral eating, farming, food allergies, and insect protein.I've bought 20 copies and given it as a gift at all the 4 or 5 year old birthday parties :D and they often love it.

We received this book today and my 3 year old loves it! I love that it has a list of related topics on each page. I'd ask what he wants to learn about next. We started at ants and somehow ended up reading all about the human body, skeletal system, and the brain. He kept saying, "Let's learn about one more thing, then I'll go to bed."So we had an hour long story time because I couldn't say no when he was so into learning.I am a bit disappointed that it said "poisonous" snakes though... Snakes are venomous.

I purchased the hard cover although it is more expensive I wanted something to teach and learn with my daughter that doesnt involve a screen. Anytime she has a question about something I tell her "let's check the encyclopedia" and most of the time there is an entry in there to spur discussion and facilitate learning. It is a child encyclopedia so obviously not very thorough. Served my purpose well for a 5 year old and it will grow with her.

Got this for my curious and detail oriented 3.5 year old son but would easily make a great present for older kids too. Enough material to keep an older child interested too. The book is excellent quality, thick cover and individual pages are a good weight and feel. Illustrations are vibrant and not too overcrowded or overwhelming. Pages are themed. See pics. Very satisfied with this purchase.

This is a great resource to have. My 4 year old understands the language used in this book. I like how each topic is on one page so it is detailed enough to learn something but not so overwhelming that my son loses interest. We like to pick a random page each day to learn something new. The book is great quality as well.

The book is great! However, it’s wrap in plastic which bent the corners or the hardcover book. Now the corners are bent and the book is not cheap. It should of had it’s own box cover so it wouldn’t get damaged in shipping not wrapped in plastic.

My daughter loves books! I bought her this for her first birthday. I know, I know! But she really loves to sit and listen to me read and she loves all the pictures! I just wanted a book I could possibly learn from too, but also she could enjoy with me! This is full of information I didn’t know or forgot I knew, and she likes it! Win-win!

Tons of varying info, great for the curious mind! Gave it as a gift for my 7 year old nephew for his bday and he was so fascinated! Just a heads up, it's organized in abc order and not categorized at all. So it's a true mini encyclopedia. But there's info about geography, science, and more.
