Product Description:
The Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia is entertaining and fun to use as well as being highly informative. Children can set off on a learning adventure via a magical 3-D landscape, where questions pop up at every turn to entice them into finding out. They can look up the answers using their portable (and customisable), multifunctional Navigator that entertains as well as informs. Or, for more serious research, they can move directly to the encyclopaedia itself, which is presented as a superb blend of words, pictures, animation and video. They are almost certain to find what they are looking for among the truly comprehensive range of subject matter--from ants to the constellations of the zodiac, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and from the art of early man to Zen Buddhism.

- Best yet!
Absolutley fantastic...kept my 7 year old fascinated and wanting to find out more and more..which is quite amazing if you knew him!! I have'nt come across a better educational CD rom better than this ! Well done DK !

Rating:

- A beautifully crafted reference!
This disc is split into 6 main sections, allowing you to focus on your specific topics (e.g. nature) - excellent cross references. Using a really quite good text-to-speech engine the software reads out the copy to you. A really handy notepad function allows you to keep running notes as you browse. Kid's club online magazine is a bit rubbish, but this is made up for by some excellent managed links to other sites. Well done DK! Shame you're not making software any more...
