Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Questions and Answers
P. Dowswell · 1993
45/100
👎 Skip It
A 1993 Usborne omnibus across animals, geography, science, and history — Usborne's format is reliably child-friendly, but a 30-year-old reference book for kids will carry outdated science and geography in a way that genuinely matters for a fact-driven quiz format. Without any critical reviews and with age working against the factual content, the honest call is that more current alternatives serve young readers better.
