Usborne Science Encyclopedia Paperback – May 1, 1989

Everything as described.

The product was exactly as advertised

I read this non-fiction book aloud to my children.This book covers a lot of ground, including: Energy, physics, light, sound, atoms, and electricity. Due to the nature of the topics, there is a lot of information presented on each page. I personally would have preferred a little less information so that the pages did not look so "busy."The book was published in 1997, so I had to laugh at the section on "Records and Tapes." My kids pointed to the record player and cassette tapes and asked what they were! The book could really stand some updating in the technology section.One thing that my kids loved were the science experiments, which were simple to do and a lot of fun! I love that the book incorporated some "hands-on" things to bring further understanding to the topics.The book covers more mature topics that the other Usborne books that we have been reading, so the depth of information is a bit more complex. We still really enjoyed it, although it wasn't our favourite Usborne science book.

Great deal. Arrived in excellent condition.

Even though this is quite an old edition (1988) and some things are outdated (eg CD presented as a new technology:) I absolutely love this book. I have had it when I was a child and it was one of my favourite books I’ve ever had. A child can easily learn basic physics. This book has incredibly nice drawings and plenty of interesting topics. Not sure if there is a an up to date version (the ones we have do not hold as much information as this one) but this is A brilliant book I would recommend to any child.

Arrived earlier than expected. Really pleased with product
