A great easy reference book for all the family, By Island Castaway (France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia (Dk Encyclopedia) (Hardcover)
Our whole family has devoured the 2000 edition of this book, from the 6 year old to the grandparents. It's a great easy reference book for basic information prior to looking things up in more detail on the internet or in specialist books. It covers all sorts of popular people, places and things, as well as history, concepts and ideas. Items are alphabetically listed, with a huge index and various cross-references, complete with illustrations, photos and maps. Once you read one page, you can't help but start on the next item. Great for children to stretch their reading abilities on, and for adults alike as it's just an interesting read. Every household should have a copy!

A really excellent general purpose encyclopaedia, By Eric Ball (Rangiora, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia (Dk Reference) (Hardcover)
Remembering with affection a pictorial encyclopaedia I had as a 5-8 year old I set out looking for something suitable for my 4 1/2 year old grandson. There are plenty of contenders out there and it took a while to narrow my search down to a manageable number. I eventually went with this one because, a) It appeared to be pitched at the younger child without being babyish, b) the size and breadth of content indicated it would give an overview and stimulate further research, and c)previous experience of books by the publisher - Dorling Kindersley, have left me with confidence in their product.Happily, when the book showed up it was EXACTLY what I'd been looking for! A quality product with enough, really well researched and presented information to keep any 5 - 10 year old (and their parents/grand-parents!) amused for hours on end. In addition, every single topic has a 'safe' URL for the child to look up on their parents computer in order to gather more information on the... Read more

Great book, very heavy though!, By Savvy Shopper (UK) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia (Dk Reference) (Hardcover)
We bought this for my 7 year old's birthday. He loves it and it's full of great info. But be warned, it is really heavy! DK always makes lovely looking books and this one is no exception.

 Somehow, it's never easy. Even if there's an even number of you. Even if everyone has the same meal. And the same drinks. Even the tip can make things complicated.

| Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel | ||
 In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

We love flavorwire.com's new collection of "extremely silly photos of extremely serious writers", which shows that even Nobel Prize-winners kick back and let their hair down from time to time.

| Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada | ||
|
His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

| The curious world of Norton Juster | ||
 Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

| How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust | ||
 Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

| Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman... | ||
 Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
