Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia - DK

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 which 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 a child'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!
