Usborne Illustrated Dictionaries Series

We love these reference books for all children aged 9+. They are fully illustrated with over a thousand colourful vignettes, each title focusing on a different area of study, so readers know all the lingo when it comes to their favourite subjects.

Written in friendly and accessible language, each title is complete with illustrations, diagrams, photographs, labels and captions to build specialised vocabulary. They also help hone knowledge around key concepts with topics colour-coded and arranged by theme for easy learning (and great for anyone with a photographic memory!).

We highly recommend checking these books out, as well as our other favourite series for this age range on our blog post about the Best Non-Fiction Book Series for 9 and 10 year olds.
