Britannica Discovery Library

"Children will find something new each time they come back to these bright, attractive volumes, making them ideal resources for the home, library, or classroom. Child appeal abounds in the bold, colorful illustrations. This set lays the groundwork for important school readiness skills and concepts, connecting every fact to the real world and explaining ideas that most concept books take for granted."
- Review by Kathy MacMillan, Library/Media Specialist, Maryland School for the Deaf, January 2005

Give the young learner in your life the wonderful gift of knowledge. The Britannica Discovery Library is a charming, lavishly illustrated, 12-volume set of "concepts and values" books specifically created for young learners ages 3 - 6. Children are introduced to various texts and genres, including rhymes, narratives, puzzles, jokes, non-fiction, and fiction, presented with simple text and bold graphics. Key vocabulary words are highlighted throughout and defined at the back of each volume. The set is ideal for pre-readers and early readers as each book contains activities to build thinking and comprehension skills and a glossary to build language skills. The Britannica Discovery Library has been chosen as a winner of the 2007 Teacher's Choice Award. The series goes beyond the obvious to encourage true learning and integration of knowledge.
