Knowledge Encyclopedia

You can easily spend weeks reading through all these pages and looking at diagrams. Very intuitive and engaging way of presenting things like the Periodic Table of elements with insets on valence electron atom structure, as just one example. I love how some pages just take a very deep dive with elaborate diagrams and cross sections of some very detailed topic and develop it, even though this is primarily a large high level overview. Organization is done very well, and I am still finding details and little anecdotes and facts noted on page headers that I missed. I really love how DK books present information, and they have done a great job not just "recycling" pictorials and diagrams from many of their other books (a very small number either similar or reused, but in different scale and developed in a very different way) so don't worry about doubling up too much on their other books (like picturepedia or space or dinosaurs) as they come at things and develop them out quite distinctly to make it worth owning all of them.

I thought it was interesting and the adults enjoyed flipping through while the kids were distracted by toys. The pictures are large and very interesting and the text is mostly in captions, so there’s not a ton of reading but the vocab level is high. There about 2 pages per topic, so it covers a lot. Keep in mind the Biology pages have a pretty large image of ovaries and eggs with a description of fertilization. Nothing inappropriate or inaccurate but the receiver was young (very bright) so I checked to make sure they were ready for conversations if they hadn’t had them yet.

My daughter soaks up information of all kinds and enjoys doing research on things she is interested in. When I saw this book, I snagged it for a gift and she loves it! I would highly recommend!

I bought this book for my daughter and she loved it, it is very complete, it has very interesting facts and the quality of the photos are very good.

Quality Hardback book. Beautiful,educational. I originally bought for grandkids,but ended up buying one for us the grandparents. Needed to remember what we have forgotten, lol. Great gift for everyone.

Lots of great info!

My child likes the book a lot. Parents should know that the book contains reproductive information. It is done in a scientific manor. It does contain a picture of Michelangelo's David. It also contains information about non-binary people.

My almost 7 year old has endless questions. This book has been such a hit! We love the illustrations and the clear explanations on everything from space to animals to world history! The maps and charts (and the page of all the world’s flags!) are looked at on a near daily basis.
