Which science encyclopedia?

I'm hoping to add one of the science encyclopedias to our repertoire, but haven't had access to see any in person.  For those that have had a chance to use or peruse them, which would you recommend?  What specifically do you like/ dislike about it?  Am considering the ones from Usborne, DK Publishing or Kingfisher ... but open to any others.

 

Thanks!

For what age? We have both the Usborne and Kingfisher. Both are great but I think the Kingfisher is more for upper elementary or middle school as it includes slightly more information the Usborne. My 9 year old uses the Usborne as a spine and it works great and I occasionally pull information from it for my 7 year old but it is a little too advanced for him. The Usborne Complete books are also good for a focus on a specific area (I'm not sure if that is the name if the series. We have the Complete Book of the Human Body).

I really like the Usborne Science Encyclopedia because it gives ds11 a visual representation of what we cover in BFSU 2 and 3, plus it includes great Internet links which are incorporated into and enrich our lessons along with Bill Nye and NeoK12 videos.
