What is there to discover in the city? Where does dirty water flow to? What kinds of plants grow where we live? How do we find out about the news? Who makes newspapers? How does the body look inside, and what can a doctor examine? What goes on at a construction site? What kinds of sports are there? What are paintings, and where does milk come from? What happens when the seasons change, and who used to live on earth? What does the earth look like, and how big is outer space? This dictionary answers exciting questions in 18 different areas. The thematic organization follows the child's growing world of experience: it begins in preschool, then progresses to school and what is happening al around us, and finally takes a look at the entire planet and even into outer space. A dictionary full of discoveries!
About the Series
The WWW series stands out for its playful, enticing way of conveying just the information that kids want to know. Centered on who-what-how questions, the titles in the series explore subjects of great interest to young children. The thousands of questions children ask daily are answered by means of interactive elements, engaging illustrations, and age-appropriate texts. Because the lively illustrations convey so much, the books hold children's interest even without an adult to read the clear, friendly texts. WWW is ideally suited for preschool and kindergarten ages, for children 4 to 7 years old.
