Encyclopedia

An encyclopedia is like a big book with a lot of information about a lot of things! It's like a never-ending story book with different sections for different topics like animals, people, history, science, and more.

Think of the encyclopedia as a huge restaurant menu that has all kinds of different foods on it. Except instead of food, it's information about things like different plants, animals, countries, and people. You can find out all sorts of things, like what a lion is, how to take care of a pet dog, or how to make a paper airplane.

Encyclopedias are a really great resource for learning and exploring the world around you. They help you learn all sorts of things about the world, and are a great place to go to if you're curious about something. Just pick a topic, and start reading!
