Picturepedia, Second Edition: An Encyclopedia on Every Page

My advanced 20 month old Granddaughter owns about 200 books and this is one of her favorite.Our first one arrived damaged and the seller promptly replaced it. This is a super-big, super-heavy, super-quality kids book that provides weeks and weeks of new learning. My Granddaughter (who memorizes her books after a couple of readings) thoroughly enjoys this never-ending source of "new material" provided in an interesting and fun way to learn - pictures and words.Unlike, some kids books, where it is not certain where one topic begins or ends - this book makes smart kids feel smarter by reading and exploring a quasi-adult-level style book which smart-kids thrive on. Topic-to-topic, every section is an adventure. No silly or immature presentations - real-life science and real-time learning. Hundreds of great durable pages with picture quality that penetrants young minds and word-explanations that quickly make sense. This book is guaranteed to be one of your smart-kids favorite books from now until high-school and will probably remain on their book shelve until they are graduated from MIT.Not cheap price-wise and not-cheap quality-wise - your kids education is the key to the future - spend your money on this book and you will be ensured that you have done your best in providing quality learning that will help set your smart-kid apart from average kids in the future. Nothing wrong with being average - but if your kid might have the chance to be above average - hey, why not?

This is an ESSENTIAL book for every child’s library—buy buy and you’ll be so glad you did. My kids have been poring over theirs since age 4 and are still going strong six years later! The large size and visual layout of the pages is so engaging and informative. The book covers everything from types of cheese to categories of sea shells to medieval costumes and geology. We tried the DK Children’s Encyclopedia, but the Picturpedia won hands down for the sheer number of topics it discusses. It’s now one of our favorite non-toy gifts for friends and family. Worth every penny.

worth buying, very good material for every age, Good quality material, my kid loved it

This is such an awesome book! We look at this a lot and we always find something interesting to learn about. My kids have their favorite sections they like to go back and look at again and again. I know we will continue to use this book for years to come when questions arise on various topics.

My son. My beloved son. Will wake me up in the middle of the night just to show me something new he has learned. There are so many bookmarks to things he is excited to share with me. It’s a great book for him.

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!

It’s a great book, but hope you can have a quality check before sending it out. The back of the cover was teared apart.

Great detailed pictures with clear explanations. Very pleased with the quality and detail.

This book is everything it claims to be and much, much more! It weighs 2 kgs! Size is quite big, will most likely cover a good part of your desk! The content is extremely comprehensive, besides being highly professional, coming from the top book publisher in the world as far as I'm concerned. The paper itself is high quality, too. A must-have for every household that seeks to be knowledgeable about the world in all aspects. Never been so impressed with anything before. Buy it for the endless collection of high-quality pictures if nothing else! Extremely high value for money at the current price point.

Amasing and fascinating

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.

It’s great, family love it

Such such great book !!! So beautifully put together with quality images, so much information without overloading small and short spanned attention kids. It’s been my sons favourite book since 1.5 years old. You’d think he’s too small for it, but it’s been so helpful for me to understand where his interests are so we can take it further. Or , if he sees something new and shows interest, like a spider, we can go to the book and look up closer, explore it, get to know it, how it looks, how many legs and eyes they have, what spider webs they make and much much more. 6 months on and this is still his go to book, never gets bored. You can see in the video how much he loves it, that his favourite pages are already bit torn. Highly highly recommend it for little ones and adults too! You’ll never get bored yourself reading it to your kids and might learn a new thing or two , as I did :)
