Editorial Review
Grade 4-9–Like its companion, the e.encyclopedia (DK, 2003),this title
is a product of thepartnership between the publisher and Google. It
contains eight topical sections from "Matter and Materials" to
"Animals" to the "Human Body." Within these sections, visually
attractive spreads introduce such topics as "Atoms" and the "Periodic
Table" with a paragraph of text and detailed captions.
For extended inquiries or more detail on these subjects, readers are
directed to a content-safe site; a keyword suggestion is flagged by an
icon on the spread. A search for astronauts results in plenty
of NASA and ESA pages, complete with history, pictures, and current
news, while photosynthesis provides a meager two links geared to
younger students. The plentiful and exciting illustrations are a main
selling point; they move the eye
along, offering a smorgasbord of information. Students in search of a
topic to investigate will find this a useful reference in that it
encourages browsing. It is also likely to be a great tool for students
who prefer the Internet over a book
