2_girls_mommy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I do believe that is the right Usborne encyclopedia. I use the Kingfisher one, so I cannot say for sure. But I think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChandlerMom Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 For this who've seen both, is the 2010/2011 edition of the Usborne Encyclopedia of World History significantly different in content than the 2003, or not? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm trying to watch our budget. If you had to chose between The Kingfisher History Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia Of World History Which would you buy? Neither one is available at my library! Unless I want to do an Inter-library Loan which only allows me limited time to actually use the book. So, purchasing one is a better option. We've been The story of the world for the past 5 weeks without these. Will my 10ds and 8dd enjoy looking at it or is this more for Mom to research extra for the lessons.

ChandlerMom Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 fwiw, the Kingfisher is the one SOTW recommended for the logic age kids, so between the 2 I went with Kingfisher. Now I'm considering picking up Usborne, but not because of any deficit in the KF one, but just because...um...two is better? :lol: I need to spend $40 for an extra book? Hmmm..... I doubt I need the Usborne, and KF has several pictures on each page and only a paragraph or two on each heading, so not too heavy for your age kids (my oldest is 8yo). We do use it. A bigger factor imo is that the Kingfisher is a big hardbound book and the Usborne is a paperback with smaller pages. I've seen complaints about the Usborne bindings being weak. To get the Usborne in a hardcover (a requirement for an encyclopedia that will be used a lot, imo) you'd' have to pay twice as much. Soooo, if budget is a concern and you can only get one, I'd vote for the hardcover Kingfisher, hands down! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar7709 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have both, and my kids currently appear to prefer the Usborne over the Kingfisher. I think they like the illustrations, and I like the internet links for enrichment. I think the Kingfisher is great too and we do use it sometimes when we just want a little more.
