This is one of a few ‘education’ encyclopedias I got for my 6 year old granddaughter to help explain her questions. The layout is superb and the presentation perfectly laid out, all in relevant areas. She loves it and it really does help – both of us.

Really nice informative book for my 8 year old son which I bought him before we visited The Deep in Hull. He reads it in bed at night and then tells me all the amazing facts he has learnt!

The book doesn’t have a proper introduction like
eg. how many oceans are there, where are they situated, what are their names etc. (instead it has just a map/picuture showing these)
Generally the book is not structured well into chapters.
e.g some sea animals are randomly selected and explained, but that even not in detail.
e.g. penguins are get just a half page
e.g. sharks are just mentioned at the side, not even a proper page or chapter
some animals are even left out e.g. polar bears
There is still lot of information, but it’s lots of bits from here and there. I really expected from Usborne more.
My 7 year old still likes the book, and loves browsing in it.
