This book provides the perfect general reference for children aged 8/9 years and up. The articles are arranged in five main thematic sections to give the reader quick and easy access to the subjects. The entries are drawn from Space,OurWorld, Nature,History, and Science and Technology. Articles are colour coded to show to which category they belong. Each entry has two parts: an information spread, giving a clear and concise introduction to the subject, and a Q&A spread that lets children explore what they have discovered. The encyclopedia is ideal for project work, home study and for general interest. Cross references at the end of each article guide the reader to more information about a particular subject. There is also a comprehensive index.
