Jay3fer Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 :lurk5: I bought the Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia of World History (the one with the knight on the cover) and I don't know if it's bc it's a paperback (cheaper) or what, but I just can't stand it... :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We have the Usborne (above) and the Kingfisher - and find that we all gravitate to the Usborne. Maybe as the kiddo gets older, we'll use the Kingfisher more, but for now, we prefer the Usborne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Kingfisher and Usborne. I use/used them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrshomework Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I was limited on my budget and just purchased the Usborne encyclopedia. My 7yr old really enjoys it. It seems at a level she understands well and likes the pictures. I got an older copy it's not internet linked. I asked this question a while back and a few responses stated the Kingfisher was for older kids I believe they stated middle school age. You can try a thread search if you don't get the response you were hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplain Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have both the UILE and the white Kingfisher, both bought used in Like New condition. Both are also library editions, and they're holding up well. I won't buy a paperback book for a subject's main textbook, because we use them heavily and the binding would never hold up! I read UILE to my kids (ages 5 & 8), and I read Kingfisher to myself. The kids will use Kingfisher when they're in middle school. By the way, if you purchase an Usborne book from Usborne directly or from an Usborne rep, and it wears out, you can get it replaced for 1/2 retail price plus shipping. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 We have the Kingfisher with the red cover and like it very much. I got it inexpensively at a book sale and haven't looked at the Usborne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
