Must - have book!

Our librarian intoduced us to this one and it's a hit for all age groups. Everyone who "picks it up" becomes engrossed. The format is different & takes a little getting used to but worth every penny! Many catagories, neat facts & trivia, nice artwork, pictures, diagrams, etc. Highly recommeded to encourage reading.

Fun and Fascinating

Fun and Fascinating read that takes you all over the place. It is, as one review said, like surfing the web. Great resource for information you won't find in the encyclopedia

A Gold Medal to the Designers

I think it's fair to say that this hip British encyclopedia is an unquestionably 21st century book. Its intricate layout is geared to engage minds acclimated to Internet hot links and lots and lots of graphics. If PICK ME UP had come out twenty years ago, its continual cross-referencing and graphic density might have made it indecipherable. But for today's Acquired Attention Deficit Disorder reader (young or old), the title says it all: Once this fascinating volume is picked up, it will not be set down anytime soon.

PICK ME UP's writers have seen to it that the book has absolutely stellar content. And I was pleased to see that they shirked no delicate issue, choosing to engagingly explain topics that public school teachers in the States would only tackle with a parental permission slip. Not that the book is prurient; rather, it turns its sensible gaze upon all aspects of behavior and history in such an astute, clearheaded way, one is inclined to turn its pages again and again.

Bravo!

Pick Me Up

This book is fabulous!!! I literally just 'picked it up' off the library shelf where it was being displayed as a new book. WOW is right. Promptly checked it out and soon bought a copy for my son who is 15. He goes back to it on a regular basis. I've started to buy it as a birthday gift for every kid I know!! I love cool kid books and this is definitely in my to 10.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Teens, parents, teachers, and readers of all ages: It's time for a reference-book revolution! And PICK ME UP is here to do just that-revolutionize the way kids and teens learn about history, science, nature, and culture outside of the classroom. Taking cues from the internet, video games, and television, PICK ME UP appeals to modern kids and teens. The book is organized like a miscellany, inspired by the internet, styled like a video game, and informed by pop culture. It's filled with fun information about history science, nature, geography and culture-everything kids want and need to know.

With a completely fun and modern design, a dizzying lenticular cover (because readers DO choose books by their covers!), and smart, witty writing, PICK ME UP appeals to voracious AND reluctant readers.

"We dare you not to pick up this reference book-gone-pop-art . . . . This TIP pick will turn even internet junkies into captivated readers." --Newsweek ". . . It's like a great Web search: It takes you places you weren't headed, but are glad to have visited." Wired Magazine "The title is an invitation; the challenge will be putting the book down." Publishers Weekly
