The New Book of Knowledge
"I have been using the New Book of Knowledge since the first of September with my pupils in school. The children themselves are so proud to be able to name all the parts of a bicycle or a horse. I have banned the use of the word thing, and now, what were things on the 1st of Sept., are now hinges or spokes or stems." - Marie Leavy (teacher in Carna Village, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland)
