I have the old 1993 editon (which is used in the current curriculum) and the newer internet linked version. I would prefer to use the new version but alas the curriculum doesn't. The 1993 version is definitely out of date and a bit disappointing visually. I am trying to correlate pages with the newer book, but I don't know if it is possible. The new Science curriculum was a nice change until I realized it uses an old book. I confess myself extremely disappointed!

Although I do not care for Usborne books personally, this material is presented very engagingly for this age-group. I like the fact it is hard-backed too. The pages on human reproduction are ummm, unique. A laugh-out-loud moment there.

I agree with Kathy A. How about moving up in the world to the internet linked version?

To be upfront I do not care for this book. The concepts are well presented however the book looks old and outdated. It would be nice to see Sonlight replace this with the new/updated Usborne Book of Knowledge.
