My Illustrated Encylcopedia by Alain Gree – Book Review

We were sent this encyclopedia to review and it really is a lovely book. The images are delightful and bound to catch the eye of any young child. It’s aimed at children aged 5-11 years and is hardback so will last a long time.

The book has 80 pages and contains 500 illustrations from the archives of Alain Gree. It covers a huge range off subject areas including insects, birds animals, fish, weather, farming, trees, flowers, transport and space. The book provides the ideal opportunity for paretns ad young children to discuss the many subjects covered, giving children a wonderful platform to learn and ask questions about the world around them.

There are pages with the lovely illustrations to give you an opportunity to talk about the objects, like these different types of boats for instance. Then the next page will give more information such a how they work or interesting facts, or a more detailed look.
