Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia by DK

Description

Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia breaks the mold by presenting creative 3D landscapes which transport children to virtual worlds – from the rain forest to the inside of the Earth, from their backyard to deep space -in which every scene and object is linked to exploring a child's natural curiosity of the “how” and “why” of their world. The encyclopedia is extensively cross-referenced and you can leave “sticky notes” on screens as you go along so you can go back to favorite sections. Far more than a collection of information, the Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia is an absorbing interactive experience that teaches by letting children explore the world!

Editorial Review

The Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia is entertaining and fun to use as well as being highly informative. Children can set off on a learning adventure via a magical 3-D landscape, where questions pop up at every turn to entice them into finding out. They can look up the answers using their portable (and customizable), multifunctional Navigator that entertains as well as informs. Or, for more serious research, they can move directly to the encyclopedia itself, which is presented as a superb blend of words, pictures, animations, and video. They're almost certain to find what they're looking for among the truly comprehensive range of subject matter–from ants to the constellations of the zodiac, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and from the art of early man to Zen Buddhism.
