Most of the translated A Child's First Library of Learning books by Time-Life are still available on eBay, Amazon and other online sellers. Time-Life themselves do not advertise the book on their website and do not seem to have a webpage for the book, giving the impression that the books are out of print in the United States and Canada.

Outside the US and Canada

A Singapore-based publishing company named Times Publishing Group currently publishes the series to all of Asia and Australia.[3][4]

"Characters"

The books plublished in North America have a small variety of kid-sized "super-deformed" characters asking questions, and the book, itself, answers in a normal paragraph.
