From DK's critically acclaimed Eyewitness series, this fantastically rendered
encyclopedia promotes learning by stimulating a child's natural desire to
explore.
While most encyclopedias are software versions of
traditional texts, Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia breaks the mold by
presenting creative 3D landscapes that transport children to virtual worlds—from
the rain forest to the inside of the Earth, from their backyard to deep space—in
which every scene and object is linked to exploring children's natural curiosity
of the "how" and "why" of their world. The encyclopedia is extensively
cross-referenced, and you can leave "sticky notes" on screens as you go along so
you can go back to favorite sections. Far more than a collection of information,
the Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia is an absorbing interactive experience
that teaches by letting children explore the world!
