ALMANAC 2017 by National Geographic Kids is a reference book chuck-full of fascinating facts and activities.

The almanac begins with a table of contents including Your World, Amazing Animals, Going Green, Culture Connection, Awesome Adventure, Fun and Games, Super Science, Wonders of Nature, History Happens, and Geography Rocks. Each section includes photographs, diagrams, games, jokes, and lots of activities.

Color-coded tabs make it easy to thumb through the book looking for sections of interest. An index also helps with access.

Almanacs are always a hit with youth. Librarians will find the 2017 edition contains about 40% new content. Readers will find expanded content at the national Geographic Kids website.

WITH 8 PAGES OF INDEX, IT WILL BE EASY FOR YOUTH (AND ADULTS) TO EASILY FIND INFORMATION ON ALMOST ANY SUBJECT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD! THE 500 OUTSTANDING PHOTOGRAPHS, PLUS, ILLUSTRATIONS WILL EASILY KEEP THE YOUTH'S INTEREST. SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE ALMANAC ARE GAMES, JOKES AND ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE RETENTION OF INFORMATION AND FACTS. ONE OF MY FAVORITES WAS 17 FREAKY THINGS ABOUT WEATHER...THEY WERE REALLY FREAKY! ANOTHER SECTION I FELT VERY IMPERATIVE ALL SHOULD KNOW -ESPECIALLY IN THIS ELECTION YEAR - IS THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT (AND OTHER GOVERNMENTS AS WELL).
THIS BOOK WILL KEEP YOUR YOUTH ENTERTAINED FOR HOURS!
