Това беше първата книга, която пожелах да си купя и си купих сам с едни 20 лв., които дядо ми даде. Това беше един от най-щастливите моменти в живота ми, след като мама ми разреши. Бях в първи клас и си спомням, че си я разгръщах с часове, изтегнат по корем на пода вкъщи.

Būdama penktokė apie šią knygą savo sąsiuvinukyje užrašiau: "Čia rašoma vaikams apie platųjį pasaulį, nes čia yra net žemynų žemėlapiai. Pasakojama apie senovę, mitus, šalis, išradimus ir apie daug ką. Man labiausiai patiko skaityti apie mitus" Ir šalia nupiešiau drakoną.

I loved this book and illustrations when I was little. I have read it many times. It also encouraged me to learn more. Definitely one of childhood’s favourites.

Initally, I found this book to be somewhat odd. However, it has proven to be a useful resource. It has held my children's attention (ages 5 and 6.) It provides a brief overview of various topics for young children. I do not feel it would be a thorough resource for older children, though it might spark an interest in further research on a topic.

Nice! Full of all topics into one. I consider this more of a picture book, but still, I liked the quality! Really nice! Recommend to all non-fiction freaks.

Само като видя корицата и носталгията удря здраво.
Когато нямаше такъв огромен и всеобхватен поток от информация на телефони и компютри, а детските филмчета бяха само уикендите от 19ч, това беше най-четената книга у дома от абсолютно всички членове на семейството ни.
И до ден днешен си остава любимата ми енциклопедия с най-ясни обяснения и приятни илюстрации.
