The new children's encyclopedia.

When? Where? What? Why? This stimulating and comprehensive encyclopedia for children provides answers to all the questions kids love to ask.

Each chapter is jam-packed with maps, charts, timelines, diagrams, beautiful images and amazing facts.

Did you know, for example, that a single drop of blood contains around five million blood cells? Or that there are areas of desert in all seven of Earth's continents?

Prepare to build your knowledge on a wide range of topics - including Earth and beyond, plants and animals, history and politics, science, technology, and the human body - arranged thematically with more than 9,000 indexed entries and 2,500 colourful images.

Cross-reference icons encourage children to explore and discover linked information, feeding their curiosity and building their general knowledge.
