Author Description

"Covering a wide array of subjects, ranging from new technologies to the animal kingdom and space, this compelling reference links words to illustrations that provide true-to-life visual definitions. For this new updated edition, the full content of the dictionary has been carefully reviewed in order to provide for the varied needs and interests of children nine and up. Keeping-up with the evolution of our fast-paced world, many illustrations and graphics have been redrawn and relabeled, be it to hold into account the latest technological developments or the most recent scientific discoveries. Adding to over 500 existing topics, new images and themes were also included, notably: geopolitical world maps; flags; time measurement; people and relationships; celebrations and emotions. With 10,000 and over 2,000 illustrations and photos, this is a must-have resource."--
