The Usborne First Encyclopedia of Our World
This is a colorful and interesting science text for a first to third grader and definitely worth the price. It has a neat internet link feature which I know my child will enjoy.

AWESOME!
This is a beautiful book that encourages children to learn about their world. Information is provided in bits, making it easy for children to digest. In addition, the internet links provide unlimited learning on the topics in the book. As far as the person who complained that they showed a photo of NYC without the World Trade Centers, I think you need to be aware that the book was published in 2002 and the WTC no longer was there, nor will ever be there in the future. Don't we need to depict the here and now truth in our books for children?

great book
This book is wonderful. I purchased it for my 6 year old and he loves to read it. Even my 3 year old loves it. They ask to read it each night before bed. It presents a lot of information, but it is also a great discussion starter book. We read some things and then talk about the subject even more. It also helps the kids to come up with their own questions on whatever subject we are reading. THe internet links are great also. This is a very all encompassing book that hits many of the highlights of Our World. I would recommend this book to any child interested in learning more about the world in which we live.
