Valuable reference that doesn't overwhelm ... kids love to pore over such books. (Eyewitness Visual Dictionaries) (The Washington Post)
Review
Eyewitness Visual Dictionaries make learning a lush, intriguing journey. (The New York Times)
Review
The Eyewitness Visual Dictionaries differ from the Eyewitness books in that the text is longer and the vocabulary more difficult.... The photographs are outstanding.... The brief text compresses many details into a few sentences. The vocabulary is scholarly... and charts combined with the text give a clear overview of the subject[s]. (RQ)
