"This attractive and engaging set is a delightful entry into the student-encyclopedia market and a much-needed addition for the age group...accessible, appealing, and highly browsable. It provides just the right amount of information without overwhelming young researchers and would also work well for older ESL/ELL students or middle-school students reading below grade level."
