DK Children's Illustrated Dictionary 29 reviews
John McIlwain
DK CHILDREN, 1994
Great Value
After visiting countless bookstores in search of a illustrated dictionary less than $15, this was the only one I could find. I was able to purchase the 2 books I needed along with shipping cost for less than I would have paid for this book at a local bookstore. The book arrived in excellent condition, this will be my 1st choice in the future for purchasing books.

The Visual Dictionary of Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith33 reviews
Jim Luceno
DK CHILDREN, 2005
Best book for any fan!
This is the best book for any fan of the movies. It explains things you'll never learn about on screen. From their weapons, to their clothes and why they need and have them, it makes sense of things that don't make sense. Good book!

fun, though a bit chaotic
Absolute a fun book to read. Lots of fascinating facts and funky pictures and illustrations. However, this book is more suitable for older kids. This organization may be a bit too confusing for younger ones.

The Visual Dictionary of Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace46 reviews
David Reynolds
DK CHILDREN, 1999
Great answers for "Mommy, what's that called?"
We have a 4 1/2 year old daughter obsessed with the Star Wars girls (Shaak Ti in particular) and this is good because it tells all about the different charachters, places, vehicles and robots of the movie in easy to understand, yet complete language.
Very good for the little Star Wars fan or anyone who would like to go a little deeper, but not THAT deep.

Incredible Cross-sections of Star Wars, Episode I - The Phantom Menace: The Definitive Guide to the Craft32 reviews
David Reynolds, David West Reynolds
DK CHILDREN, 1999
A definate for vehicle lovers!
I always wanted to see more and to be able to look inside of the vehicles more closely, and this book provides that information (and more more) in great detail. I really like the mini illustrations of where in the vehicles that events from the movies took place, it helps to "put a name to a face".

Spider-Man: The Ultimate Guide35 reviews

Spider Man
This book was purchased for a great nephew who checks it out of the library over and over again.
His grandmother told me that he has had it off and on for a year because he loves it.
So I decided to give it to him for Christmas. Now he will have his very own copy of the book to keep forever. He knows the book from the beginning to the end.

Great Book
This is a great book. I bought it for my 3 year old grandson for Christmas. He is really into Star Wars. Of all the fancy gifts he got, this book was the best. when he opened it he immediately went through and looked at every page. Now, every night his Dad has to read him 2 pages before he goes to bed. What a great gift. Highly reccommended if you know someone who really digs Star Wars.

Excellent book, strongly recommended!
I got this book when I was about 6 years old, I'm now 19 and I can still remember it very well! Great for teaching children about geography and other cultures, it certainly kept my attention. I only wish they could bring out another updated version!

Ocean (Dk Guide)25 reviews

Ocean
If you are at all interested in oceanography & marine biology this book is a grabber. I first came across this book in our local library. Within an hour I had ordered a copy from Amazon to have for my own. It is a most comprehensive if not exhaustive on the subjects. Non-technical and wonderfully illustrated I keep it handy for constant enjoyment.

The treasure that was Ancient Egypt
I just reviewed another book for children about the treasures found in the tomb of Tutankhamun and sold at his latest traveling exhibit in Dallas. Now here is DK's Eyewitness version of "Ancient Egypt" for comparison.
Let's stop now. There is no comparison. Inside the Tomb of Tutankhamun is designed to study tomb treasures and the context in which they were created. It is perfect for its ...

Bird (DK Eyewitness Books)15 reviews

DK CHILDREN, 2004
Definitive or not, this visual guide is truly a joy to behold
Dorling Kindersley have become well known for producing clear, visually oriented reference books for adults and children. They had previously published a score of smaller volumes on the subject of birds, but nothing quite like this: a definitive guide, as they claim. The book is best described as an encyclopaedia of birds. Measuring 30 x 25 cm (12" x 10") and weighing over 4.5 pounds, it has the ...

DK CHILDREN, 2007
Terriffic book for technical details
My son loves the all the technical details offered in this book. It talks about how tractors work, how they are made, the history of John Deere and everything in between. It isn't a "story book" it is packed with lots of tractor details that farm boys love.

We see them everyday!
My nephew is two and loves this book! He can anme almost everything in the book as we point ot it and becuse the pictures are actual photos, he recognizes them when we are out. Yesterday, as we were driving around, he said, "There's an excavator over there, see it, Ashy?" So cute. He has the dinosaurs book in this series, too, but I will be getting them all. So big and colorful. Love them.

Children's Everyday Bible21 reviews

Childrens Everyday Bible Great!
We have been attending church regularly for 5 months now. I got this as a gift for my 3 and 5 year old for Easter. My 5 year old loves it, he had requested a bible with pictures in it. The pictures are great and the stories hold his attention so well we read much more than one page each night. My 3 year old is not so interested at this time.
