Childrens

The Britannica Discovery Library is a charming, lavishly illustrated, 12-volume set of "concepts and values" books specifically created for young students. Children are introduced to various texts and genres, including rhymes, narratives, puzzles, jokes, non-fiction, and fiction, presented with simple text and bold graphics. Key vocabulary words are highlighted throughout and defined at the back of the book. The set is ideal for prereaders and early readers, in school or in the library. Each book contains activities to build thinking and comprehension skills and a glossary to build language skills.

Colorful, Lively Illustrations and Photographs
Specially commissioned illustrations and full color photos give each page a visual representation of the text.

Interactive Reading
Children will learn basic concepts and then be asked to apply them by answering the questions in each volume. Light and fun, these questions will make reading comprehension feel like a game.

Vocabulary Builder
Each volume contains a glossary so kids can learn to look- up new words and concepts.
