Charming illustrations and colourful photographs bring each subject to life in a joyful way. Reviewed by early-years specialist Dr Amanda Gummer and subject experts from Britannica, this baby’s encyclopedia is both playful and authoritative.

Hanako is based in Titirangi, Auckland, New Zealand.

Reviews

Each section begins and ends with a full page picture and the accompanying suitably simple text is thoughtfully worded to read like an opening and finale … Just the right amount of information is included in each section to engage small children, while also enhancing their vocabulary and knowledge … It’s good to see that care has been taken to include a diverse range of humans in every topic presented.
