A Vibrant, Easy-to-Read First Reference Set
Winner all the way!
Encyclopedia Britannica (USA) has won the prestigious Global Learning Initiative
Award 2005, at the 42nd Bologna Children's Book Fair, for use of print
materials in creative and innovative ways in the Britannica Discover
Library.
The Britannica Discovery Library is a charming, lavishly illustrated, 12-volume
set of "concepts and values" books specifically created for young
students. 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 the book. The set is ideal for pre-readers and early
readers, in school or in the library. Each book contains activities to build
thinking and comprehension skills and a glossary to build language skills.

Specially commissioned illustrations and full colour photos give each page a
visual representation of the text.
