Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–7—This volume is a playful compendium of facts, trivia, and history, just perfect for browsing. It covers everything from national flags and animal skeletons to gourmet cheese, from the Renaissance to fashion through the decades to just about everything else in between. There's no in-depth discussion in this book, which is touted as "an encyclopedia on every page," but it is copiously and colorfully illustrated, making it an attractive selection for fans of the DK single topic books. The 360 pages make for one heavy book—and its size may deter some younger readers and browsers. Like other DK offerings, it's thoughtfully laid out, with clean page layouts and excellent photos and indexing. But those looking for more information on individual topics won't find it here; rather, it's an ideal book for those looking to kill time in study hall or find a fresh topic for a term paper. VERDICT A fun read that aligns with Common Core, this title is a suitable purchase for larger collections and browsing tables.—Sharon Verbeten, Brown County Library, Green Bay, WI

Five stars, but I'd give it more if possible. Such amazing pictures! Could look at this book for hours!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cultural Literacy Primer

T. · September 4, 2024

As I was flipping through this Encyclopedia, there were a few things that immediately peeved me off ( !!! )But — if you can get your 9 year old to read a few pages of this volume every day, or every few days, & they should retain 60% of its content by The time they’re 16, they should have a solid understanding towards Cultural Literacy, which many College Graduates seem to lack. !There’s a lot missing from this book that’s important, Media sources & such, but inflaming a desire to find knowledge ‘fun’ is The Objective — And creating a vocabulary to form reasonable questions & objections to The Items where this volume may have slipped up !

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for language and vocabulary development!

E. · January 8, 2020

I absolutely love DK books bc of their actual pictures vs cartoon illustrations you'll find elsewhere. I think it's very important for little Learners to learn and understand what is real before cartoon drawings. I use/d these books primarily to build vocabulary. We started off by pointing at objects and saying the name, then we advanced to us saying the name and she would find and point at the object, and then it was her repeating the words and eventually she would go through and name everything. Anyhow, I purchased this for my daughter when she was 15 months and was starting to outgrow the dk tabbed books, she knew what everything was. This book at 2.5 years is still a hit! She still loves to flip through it and explore what's on the page. Of course there are subjects above her comprehension like the history of the civil war, but the animal pages helped her realize yes, we can recognize a dog but there are many types of dogs and many types of birds etc... We never run out of words to learn with this book! And I love the teaching conversations that evolve from looking through this. I know 100% that these dk books helped develop my my daughter's advanced language skills. Of course I think she's the smartest cookie ever!! But since 2 years old she has spoken regularly in 7-9 word sentences and would even string together multiple sentences to tell stories when Google says normal development of a 2 yr old is just beginning to combine two word sentences like "baby crying." So yes, I recommended this to parents of toddlers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Snakes!

c. · May 9, 2025

I bought this for my nine year old niece, who apparently upon receiving it, flipped to the page with information about snakes. After she read the article, she promptly reported that she didn't like how the book made snakes sound evil and bad. Otherwise, she likes the book. So, if you are getting the book for snakes, I would advise against it! Other then that, it has a nine year old's stamp of approval!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy!!

My 7 year old LOVES this book. He takes it everywhere with him.

Amasing and fascinating

Superb!

As for all their books, Smithsonian delivers first class info and illustrations. Books that follow a child through adolescence and adulthood. Great investment. Will probably be purchasing a fourth one for my grandson!

日本の図鑑とはまた一味違って

g. · September 11, 2023

とてもいいです(・∀・)このシリーズをいずれ揃えたいと思いつつ、うちの2歳児がどんなこと、どんなものに興味があるのかな?というのがまだ分からなかったので、まず手はじめに総合的なpicturepediaを購入しました。親も楽しんで見れるので、買ってよかったなと思っています

Une merveille

P. · November 8, 2018

Livre traitant des sujets diverses et variés, avec beaucoup de photos et un peu de texte. Mes filles (8 e 9 ans) le feuillettent de façon régulière, elles ne cherchent pas un sujet en particulier mais elles y passent pas mal de temps à découvrir les sujets. Pour les adultes aussi, il s'avère très intéressant.

A must have..

P. · May 30, 2024

This is a great version of encyclopedia with extensive pictures that make learning interesting for kids. We have an hour of night reading daily exploring 1 topic a day. Written font is small, but the pictures are plenty...
