In the lively style of "NG Kids magazine", this colourful page-turner excites young people about their world and everything in it.

Packed with fun-to-browse features, it is also filled with useful reference material, homework help developed by educators, and the kind of quirky facts that kids adore. Amazing animals, cool inventions, funny roadside attractions, other space, green living, natural disasters, maps, puzzles - it's all here in one irresistible volume.

A newly updated Your World section opens the almanac with timely information and unique National Geographic content.

A 100 percent new game section features photo-puzzles, illustrated pen-and-pencil games, and other brainteasers.

Every chapter is updated with exciting new content: photos of animals, adventure, and nature; maps of the continents, new this year; hundreds of facts and figures; and fascinating stories about incredible creatures, space, holidays and more.

Based in part of the award-winning "NG Kids magazine", the "NG Kids Almanac" also boasts material created by NG's contributing researchers and photographers in the field.
