Collins Children's Encyclopedia (New ed)

With over 700 entries, this encyclopaedia covers 130 different subjects from Ancient Greece to Modern America, breathing and eating to butterflies and moths, climate and weather to computers and electronics - and is ideal both for quick fact-checking or as a source of information for more detailed projects.The subjects are arranged thematically, which presents information in a wider context, and fact panels and detailed captions throughout invite the reader to "browse" through the subjects and explore them in more depth.

Tables containing geographic, astrological and biographical details at the end of the book provide further essential information.
