Each encyclopedia is packed with 150-230 catalogue-style entries, which have a photo, pithy text, and stats as relevant to the theme, such as the size, diet, and habitat of animals; or the place, date, and name of inventor for Inventions. Plus there are icons to show size scale or locator globes. It is the ideal visual guide to every subject with manageable amounts of information that appeals to even reluctant readers.

As well as the catalogue entries, every book and chapter has introductory pages to explain the basics of each topic, such as how different rocks form (Rocks and Minerals), the anatomy of a horse (Horse), and a map of the Nile region (Ancient Egypt).

The books are also peppered with stunning double-page photographs that highlight amazing facts; and there is a data section at the end featuring incredible stats, world records, top tens, and other information relevant to each title, such as a periodic table in Rocks and Minerals.
