A great book but has some outdated languages and a few incorrect facts。 Still my 3YO loves it and I can just edit problems out verbally since she doesn't read！ A great book but has some outdated languages and a few incorrect facts。 Still my 3YO loves it and I can just edit problems out verbally since she doesn't read！ 。。。more

I honestly can’t say much about this book from my perspective。 We received it as a gift， and I haven’t had the patience to read it cover to cover。 However， my 4 year old adores it and reads it on her own all the time。 She’s constantly spouting off facts from it。 Preschooler approved！

I liked the variety of information。 However， I didn’t like the white boxes and how occasionally the font disappeared。 I hope they fix that before the book is published！

O enciclopedie pentru copii， dar care mi-a placut si mie chiar daca nu mai fac parte din publicul tinta。 M-a facut sa descopar lucruri noi si e scrisa in accord cu datele stiintifice curente， cum ar fi ca Pluto nu mai este clasificata ca planeta sau ca avem mai mult de cinci simturi， cu multe exemple faine si redate cu respect fata de intelectul copiilor。Ce nu mi-a placut: ca sa arate diversitatea culturala， printre altele a fost prezentat si horoscopul vestic si cel chinezesc， dar daca cel chin O enciclopedie pentru copii， dar care mi-a placut si mie chiar daca nu mai fac parte din publicul tinta。 M-a facut sa descopar lucruri noi si e scrisa in accord cu datele stiintifice curente， cum ar fi ca Pluto nu mai este clasificata ca planeta sau ca avem mai mult de cinci simturi， cu multe exemple faine si redate cu respect fata de intelectul copiilor。Ce nu mi-a placut: ca sa arate diversitatea culturala， printre altele a fost prezentat si horoscopul vestic si cel chinezesc， dar daca cel chinezesc a fost introdus cu "Some people believe that"， cel vestic nu a fost introdus similar， ci au fost trecute direct caracteristici etc， iar intr-o carte plina de date reale asta mi se pare o greseala mare， ca poate fi eronat interpretat ca fiind ceva real。 。。。more

Depending on the curiosity level of your child， you may start to hate the word why。 Why is the sky blue？ Why do some elephants have bigger ears than others？ Why， why， why， why！ I can suggest to most parents that they make something up that sounds vaguely intelligent。 The problem is that kids are canny little things。 So， rather than trying to download the entirety of the internet into your head， get your child their own first encyclopaedia， something like ‘‘My Encyclopedia of Very Important Thing Depending on the curiosity level of your child， you may start to hate the word why。 Why is the sky blue？ Why do some elephants have bigger ears than others？ Why， why， why， why！ I can suggest to most parents that they make something up that sounds vaguely intelligent。 The problem is that kids are canny little things。 So， rather than trying to download the entirety of the internet into your head， get your child their own first encyclopaedia， something like ‘‘My Encyclopedia of Very Important Things’’。‘‘Very Important Things’’ is the type of book that was sent off on a fact finding mission and didn’t come back for years。 There are over 200 pages of A4 size hardback packed with eclectic information from Space， to animals， to history。 So many topics are covered that hopefully there will be an answer contained within to sooth the most curious of minds。As this is a ‘my first encyclopedia’ it is aimed at the 5-7 year market and their understanding of the contents will depend somewhat on their prior knowledge and reading ability。 It is a book that you can pick up and share， but it best given as a gift to a knowledge hungry child to absorb at their leisure。 The impressive elements of the book all surround how well delivered it is to the age group。 There are loads of different topics covered and each gets at least a full colour double page spread。 Rather than ramming each page with information， DK are aware that they are encouraging little learners， so they instead place between 5 and 10 factoids per spread。There is a wonderful balance between imagery and information that makes the book very compelling to look at。 There are photos that provide information， but also illustrations that provide fun。 Between the two， each topic is covered in a way that seems a little silly， but is actually impressively in depth for the target audience。The only real concern about the book is that it is a very eclectic mix。 Encyclopaedias as a type will always cherry pick what is included and what is not， but ‘‘Very Important Things’’ almost feels scattergun as it attempts a whistle-stop tour of any topics that kids find cool - dinosaurs， the human body etc。 At times the book almost feels dizzying it its variation。The fact that no one subject is concentrated on for a prolonged time means that some children will read the parts that interested them and ignore the others。 However， for a child who is hungry to know everything about everything， this is a good place to start。 The colourful style and simple， but effective， facts makes this a very attractive book for a junior with an active mind。 。。。more
