Simple and fun to use, the alphabetically arranged book devotes a brightly illustrated page or double page spread to each topic, enabling novice researchers to find information on their own. Clearly labeled and captioned illustrations complement the short text blocks, add valuable information, and help make this a book young readers will want to use. Helpful introductory matter offers suggestions on how to use an encyclopedia. Both accessible and authoritative, this book is the perfect choice for children who are ready to begin using reference books on their own.
