DKfindout! is an online encyclopedia for kids that is perfect for help with homework. It covers all sorts of topics and has helpful sections on history, dinosaurs, the human body, maths/English, computer coding, science and the earth! Dorling Kindersley publishes a fantastic range of reference books for children that we love in the library and we think you will find this website very useful and fun to explore.
