Slightly smaller than hard cover

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2023

Verified Purchase

Good product. I was worried about it being paperback but it feels nice in my hands. It’s slightly smaller than the hard cover version but the inside graphics and words don’t feel much smaller.

I’m toying with removing the cover and spiral binding this.

Easily used as a stand alone history curriculum

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

I purchase this book to use with the history quest curriculum. After the first lesson, I relised my children were very interested in the book, and that history quest was going to "water down" or bore them of the information. After finishing only 2 pages of the encyclopedia, the curiosity flowed and they began asking questions and we were having meaningful conversations about history and what, or how we can learn from it. After reading the pages and watching the videos from the encyclopedia, we then referred to our history quest book as the curriculum was laid out and they instantly lost interest. They were looking around the room and fiddling as I read the long chapter. One month later and we have yet to use history quest again. We decided to begin at the front of the encyclopedia, reading two pages at a time and watching all videos and completing the activities included ( there are videos, and sometimes there is a game, or addional pictures.) We do the activities and print the pictures to color or to label. Our history lessons are now guided with facts and completed with curiosity. I regret purchasing history quest, this book alone is enough. I purchased two addional encylopedias for each of my children so hat they can follow along and look at the pictures and diagrams. I don't have to plan ahead, and I don't have to fight for their attention. We complete two pages at a time, the pages are set up to open as a spread focusing on a single topic and going in order throughout history. The links are also organized by the pages so you can read pages 13-14, and watch the videos and do the actives for those pages. I'm Very pleased with my purchase and im happy to see my kids have an interest in history. I am already looking into other usborne encyclopedias for our studies.

Great resource for homeschooling

My 6-year old son loves this book. I was reserving this for when he was a bit older but he found it and started reading it on his own. He comes to me to share the facts he learned from this book and we both discover things about history together.

Wonderful encyclopedia.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is absolutely wonderful. It has kept my children's interest the entire time. The information is clear and explained so it's very easy for children to understand. There are very few real pictures in this book. It's mostly all artwork, but it's beautifully done and looks pretty realistic so it's not a problem for us, but if you wanted real pictures, this maybe isn't the right book. We are really enjoying it and am definitely glad we purchased.

Lovely book, but very flimsy cover

Reviewed in Canada on August 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Usborne Encyclopedia is a delightful resource for home schoolers, or for anyone, really - it covers the basics of every historical period, mentions all the key figures, and unlike many children's history books, it includes pages from many different cultures and continents, not only Western history. It's packed with photographs of artifacts and really nice detailed illustrations of life in times past.

My son really enjoys the first section of the book especially, which gives a detailed account of pre-history. To me, it seems a bit odd to have so much information about dinosaurs and other prehistoric life in a book that has a picture of a knight in armour on the cover - it seems to me like this topic should have been given a book of its own, and "World History" be kept about human history - but, whatever. I guess they were going for a very broad definition of history.

I'm glad I bought this book for our home school. And my son has been spending a great deal of time reading it just for fun. However! I do not recommend the soft cover version of this book. This is what we have, and I am very disappointed how flimsy the cover is, considering what a large and heavy book it is. Truly, they shouldn't have issued this book in softcover at all, unless they were going to make it much sturdier than what it is. After only a few days of my son reading the book (carefully I might add) the cover was curled and the spine was creased. And after a few months of owning the book, it looks like it's been kicking around for a few years, and I wouldn't be surprised if the flimsy cover gets ripped right off at some point. I wish I had bought this in hardcover because it's a lovely book and one we will refer to often while doing our history studies.

Packet damaged

Reviewed in Germany on February 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

The book is great, highly recommend it. Also recommend that whoever is in charge of packaging to take note of how heavy an item is before it is crammed in a too small envelope instead of an appropiate sized envelope or box. It's a heavy book and it came in an envelope that was open on one side. Really shouldn't happen. Had to wait for a while before it came and then to recieve it like this is rather dissapointing. Really don't understand why innapropiate packaging is a recurrent issue. The book itself however, is very informative for children and gets five stars.

AMAZING book and illustrations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book REALLY deserves a review.
It’s absolutely beautiful and AMAZING.
5 stars out of 5!
It’s a book that teaches you the history of the world from the dinosaurs to the year 2000AC.
Perfect for both adults and children.

It’s absolutely FULL of beautiful coloured illustrations and photos.
I decided to take pictures of some beautiful illustrations and pages from the book as the ad doesn’t show any, which it’s a shame.

Highly recommended.
