This book is part of the Usborne Internet-linked series, and is good for use as lessons for Social Science or Geography. Every double-page spread covers a different topic, and includes age-appropriate information, full-color illustrations, and some links to internet resources – enough for a complete lesson for young children. It complements the Usborne First Encyclopedia of Science very well.
The Usborne Internet-linked First Encyclopedia Our World covers the following:
- Our planet
- What’s out in space?
- On the Moon
- Looking at the Earth
- Day and night
- The seasons
- The weather
- Storms and winds
- Rocks and fossils
- Earthquakes
- Volcanoes
- Following a river
- Floods
- Mountains
- The seashore
- Seas and oceans

- Under the ground
- Caves and caverns
- In the desert
- Grasslands
- In the rainforest
- Icy world
- Rivers of ice
- Cities and towns
- Useful Earth
- The web of life
- World in danger
We found some lapbook resources on each of these topics, and added it to our social science book after we read the information in this book. Just like Science, Buck found it very interesting and enjoyed it very much.
