big,

The encarta 2006 DVD edition is great for kids as it has a completly separate section for them, with a nice easy to read menu, loads of pictures, videos and diagrams. All descriptions and text is in childrens language with no big words. And the main version isnt too shabby either when they get a bit older.

My nine year old thinks its great. Kids section is probably good until around 12yrs old maybe even older depending on what the homework entails.
