DK Eyewitness Books
This set of sweeping, comprehensive encyclopaedias is as good as it gets. The layouts are visual, and the details are plentiful. The breadth of titles is also impressive. These are my absolute favorite books, because it seems like the publisher was intent on stocking an entire social studies department with middle grades material.
