* Old cover
* New cover

The **Encyclopedia**, as its title suggests, is an encyclopedia book that Cro reads to make inventions, study, and examine. It has appeared in many *Dibo the Gift Dragon* episodes.

## Appearance

The old version had a white cover, and varied multiple photos on the front page, with the back page cover showing a compass.

The new cover is blue and on the front page, its title reads as "Encyclopedia - Everything About Everything", and has a drawn rocket below. The back cover shows the planet Saturn.

## Pages

### The Birth of A Butterfly

This page is first shown in its very first episode. Cro shows this page to prove to the others that Pinky isn't really gone, but is now a butterfly. Its page reads:

#### Egg

Caterpillar come from

thy tiny egg.

On the dewy leaf so green,

The flowers are a-bud,

the birds are come,

It is time thou abroad wert seen.

#### Chrysalis

Caterpillar sleep

in thy cocoon's fold

In thy snug and silken bed.

The winds may blow,

the raindrops fall,

Not a drop shall touch thy head.

#### Larva

Caterpillar grow, for thy summer's task Ev'ry busy hour shall fill.

The flowers are awaiting thy second birth,

Then do thy work with a will,

#### Butterfly

Butterfly creep from my brown cocoon,

Spread thy lovely

silken wings:

Ev'ry blossom bright

ev'ry garden flow'r

to thee a welcome brings.

### Raccoon

The Raccoon page, along with the others are shown in Starry Night, where Cro thinks the sound came from this animal.

The Raccoon's biography reads:

A mammal belonging to the dog family.
Below the page says:

A raccoon has plump, round body, four short legs, small rounded ears, pointed head, and thick, short tail.
The description reads:

*Raccoons are nocturnal but they [unreadable] appear during the day in forests. During the day, raccoons sleep deep inside the forest, underneath a rock, in a hole beneath a huge tree or inside a natural cave. When night comes, the raccoons come out. Raccoons are omnivores who eat all kinds of things - mice, frogs, snakes, earthworms, insects, fruits, nuts, sweet potatoes, and etc. They climb up trees to get fruits and nuts. They have great appetites so they eat a lot of food at once.*
The page at the bottom shows a drawing of the raccoon's claws, with a speech bubble saying

*"Raccoons have powerful hands and sharp claws."*

### Possum

The Possum page is the next page Cro shows assuming this animal made the sound.

The Possum's biography reads:

* Classification: Possum family.
* Number of Species: About 80.
* Way of Life: Lives alone. Active during the night and rests inside tree holes during the day.
* Body Shape: Streamlined.

The Possum's description reads:

A possum can use its tail to wrap around the branches. Possums have adopted to aquatic life. The four legs are short and consists five toes. The big toes at the hind feet have no claws, and are facing the other four toes on each foot, as the feet are well adapted to grab onto branches. The protruding mouth has 50 sharp teeth. many of them being fangs.*
And on the bottom, it shows a drawing of the Possum's teeth with a speech bubble saying:

*"A possum has 50 sharp teeth."*

### Sled

The sled page is shown in It's Snowing!, where the reason Cro told his friends to wear winter clothes and ride the sled was because of the snow.
The sled's page reads:

*Sled is a vehicle that moves by sliding. A sled is usually used for traveling over snow.*

### Egypt

The Egypt page is shown in Practice Makes Perfect, where Cro suggests him friends build their blocks styled like a pyramid. On the left side of the book, it shows the entire continent of Africa and where Egypt is located.
The Pyramid's description reads:

*Egyptian pyramids are square in plan and their triangular [unreadable] which directly face the points of the compass, towards at approximately a 50° angle from [unreadable]ound and meet at an apex.*
## Trivia

* The old design of the encyclopedia has the compass from the *Pororo the Little Penguin* episode Lost in Forest.
* Both the Possum and Raccoon make their second appearance in It's Snowing!, but they're only shown on a book page.
