krorabaugh Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Does anyone have any thoughts on the Kingfisher Encyclopedia vs the Usborne one for World History? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFM Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 We just use both, I find that I prefer one over the other for different things, sorry, not sure that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.m Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Usborne for 4th-5th and under. Kingfisher for above 5th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsha SC Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I thought the Kingfisher History Encyclopedia was no longer in print, though you may be able to find it on e-bay. But for the record, we use the Kingfisher and I like it. :001_smile: Marsha SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagira Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm going to use Usborne through at least fifth grade, but I'm thinking of switching to Kingfisher in later grades, definitely by high school. By then it may be something else, as ds is only going to be in fourth grade this year. Ds and I like it for the elementary grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have owned both. I got rid of Usborne just because Red entered the logic stage; replaced it with Kingfisher. I like Kingfisher okay and I see why it was recommended for the logic stage... but really, I prefer Usborne and wish I had it again. I *really* miss the prehistory section - Kingfisher doesn't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
