review 1: One Friday night at dinner, out of desperation to have some sort of non-chaotic meal, I grabbed this book and started reading the trivia out loud. "What's the hottest measured temperature on Earth?" "How many gallons of water does it take to make a pair of jeans?" "How many strands of hair do people lose a day?" It was great! Love the colorful pictures, the wide variety of topics covered, the quality of the binding, and the fact that we got it at the library.

It is an easy purchase for a SLMC each year because it is full of the latest information on a range of topics which directly relate to the curriculum. The content is exceptional in relation to others in the same category. The 2012 edition was #3 on the New York Bestselling list. One interesting feature is the smart phone scan for further information. It is very much up to date with technology applications as well. Purpose: This will allow children to see where we are headed in 2013. It gives them a chance to explore a diverse collection of topics. This is not gender specific as many of the sports related almanacs tend to be. It is another form of attracting students to read reference materials.

Since it is a yearly publication, the information will be up to date.Format: This paperback almanac is well illustrated with text boxes full of information.Arrangement and Presentation: The 352 almanac includes chapters on amazing animals, going green, geography rocks, super science, wonders of nature, awesome adventures, culture connection, history happens, and a mini joke book.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS ALMANAC 2012. School Library Journal, 57(10), 88. This review is of the 2012 edition but is applicable to the 2013 edition. less
