This is the perfect book to dip in and out of and has something for everyone. It's informative without coming across as too academic and presents world issues without being preachy. It also has a link to some extra digital content via the National Geographic website. As a home educator, I have found the book extremely useful for constructing lesson plans on a variety of subjects.
The only slight negative I have about the book is the fact that it is written in American English, so young British readers may get confused at substitutions like ''tire'' instead of ''tyre''and ''gas'' instead of ''petrol''. It would have been nice to have had an edit specifically for the UK market.
The ''Infopedia'' is an absorbing read and reminds me of how good annuals used to be when I was a child. In fact, I would go so far as to say that this one is even better, and will be a book that children return to again and again. Many thanks to the publishers for my review copy.
