The latest revised, updated edition of The Kingfisher Children's Encyclopedia offers readers a broad overview of the world and its countries, cultures, technologies, religions and more. Photos and illustrations add visual appeal, while factoids make the volume ripe for browsing to cull diverse trivia. Despite the text's alphabetical organization, many subject headings can be hard to pinpoint (such as ""Materials"" and ""Tiger and other big cats""); the comprehensive index offers a more efficient way of locating sought topics. .
