This fantastically rendered encyclopedia promotes learning by
stimulating a child's natural desire to explore.
While most encyclopedias are software versions of traditional
texts. Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia breaks the mold by
presenting creative 3D landscapes which transport children to
virtual worlds-from the rain forest to the inside of the Earth,
from their backyard to deep space-in which every scene and object
is linked to exploring a child's natural curiosity of the "how"
and "why" of their world.
The encyclopedia is extensively cross-referenced and you can
leave "sticky-notes" on screens as you go along so you can go
back to favorite sections. Far more than a collection of
information, the Eyewitness Children's Encyclopedia is an
absorbing interactive experience that teaches by letting children
explore the world!
The only CD-ROM encyclopedia created specifically for
children aged 7-12
Designed by educational experts to stimulate
children's natural curiosity and challenge them to learn
more about their world.
Unparalleled depth and breadth of information makes this
CD-ROM the ideal reference for home and school
