The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia (Kingfisher Encyclopedias)

Each chapter is short and to the point. So while it covers a ton of science stuff, it does not go into detail much at all. But I knew that when I purchased it. So as long as you understand what you are buying ahead of time, you should like this encyclopedia. It gives an overview of MANY topics and gets right to the point. The reason I like this and am giving it five stars is, as a homeschooler, I am having my middle schooler read anywhere from one chapter to several chapters a day, and the reason it varies is, if it is something we've already studied, he reads it as a review and moves on. If it's something I realize we haven't covered much or that we covered early on and he doesn't remember, we stop and spend some time on it, find other resources about it from either the library or internet, and once we've covered that topic more in-depth, we move on. In other words, it's a great review. But it is a HUGE book. So it will last us until high school, maybe longer. The content will soon be below his reading level (if it isn't already) but we will continue with it because it Is serving as a great review the way we are using it.

Riquíssimo em conteúdo e imagens!

My family already had the Usborne Science Encyclopedia, but it somehow felt inadequate for our homeschooling. I bought this Kingfisher one after checking some recommendations. So glad I did. It is well-formatted, well-written and attractively laid out. The text is neither too light and brief (like elementary-grade texts) nor too dense. My kids will find this useful for school. It is a nice starting off point for research and study. Even my husband and I are enthralled by this book. We love books in our home, and the Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia will be cherished for years to come.

I got reading this book, what fun🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

Good book for my 8 year old boy. He like the book a lot. Lots of information's for kids and adults. One star down because of the price I pay but good investment.
