My parents bought me a concise Encyclopedia for teenagers, I forgot the name (it was made overseas). Not Britannica, but still had some 12 volumes. I loved it and was my bathroom reading in my pre-teen and early teen years, alongside the occasional computer books. It was not very different from Wikipedia but the language was a lot more accessible. Kids these days rarely have patience for this sort of thing, at least my kid doesn't. There is just too much overstimulating information everywhere - how can an Encyclopedia compete with TikTok and Youtube algorithms that leave the child laughing nonstop?
