Customer Reviews

Great For Basic Information

This book was very helpful and was one of my reasources for many school reports (I am entering the fifth grade). I especially enjoyed the maps in the middle of the book. On special subjects like individual sports, however there is only basic information, but extensive booklists to help you find more specific books. The etiquette section is very nice.
