Abstract

I am interested in pyramids, forests and wildlife, and I look and read the information and the pictures in both of the encyclopedias, and I found more information and better pictures in the Random House Children's Encyclopedia. The Kingfisher Children's Encyclopedia did not have a lot of pictures and the information that I wanted to find. I like the Random House better because it has more information, more pictures and more details, like the places you can find lions, and skeleton, how they survive, how many kinds of lions there are and other. But I did not find the information listed above in the Kingfisher Children's Encyclopedia.

Random House: At the beginning this book has information about how to use this so everybody can learn more about the subjects. And if you want to know more about the article there is a little box which is labeled "Find out more" at the bottom of each page. At the end of this book, the Random House, there is a fact finder about history, and the world, nature and science. They both have index.

Random House: They didn't have tigers inside. They had it under lions. Thats not good. It should be under the letter "T". The information it gives on tigers is very short. It has more pictures than "The Kingfisher." I don't think you could get the information you want in "The Random House."
