How Things Work

Sometimes it seems that the youngest students have the most questions. The Scholastic First Encyclopedia series, now available in a paperback format, is still the resource to which these children can turn. Designed with the earliest readers in mind, these vibrantly illustrated books contain easy-to-understand text that provides the answers to the questions kids have about the world.With all the standard reference tools such as an index, glossary, and well-labeled diagrams, the First Encyclopedias go a step further. Every detail has been carefully designed for very young children. Kids will use standard research features, but in a simplified format that will make finding information a snap! In particular, the unique cross-referencing system makes it easy for any child to find additional information on a topic.How Things Work covers all the basic questions a young child may have about the who, what, why, and especially the how of everyday things.Llewellyn, Claire is the author of 'How Things Work', published 1996 under ISBN 9780590475303 and ISBN 0590475304.
