Almanac 2020
It’s the 10th anniversary of the world’s best-selling almanac for kids! This year the Almanac features all-new content, interviews with explorers in each chapter, a special look at what was going on in the world when the first National Geographic Kids Almanac came out 10 years ago, plus the results of the 2019 Almanac Challenge and a new Challenge for kids who want to get involved with helping our planet.
Kids can have fun keeping up with our quickly changing world with the New York Times best-selling almanac, packed with incredible photos, tons of fun facts, crafts, activities, and fascinating features about animals, science, nature, technology, conservation, and more. There’s a whole chapter full of fun and games, including activities, jokes, and comics. Practical reference material, including fast facts and maps of every country, has been fully updated. Homework help on key topics is sprinkled throughout the book.
Parents, do you remember learning how to write a letter in school? I do! We had to actually write them too! No typewriters; no computers. Paper and pencil. This Almanac has useful information just like that, so your kids can learn how to write an actual letter (email, of course). But everyone should know how to write a formal letter! You can help your kids beat boredom by having them practice the skills in the Almanac.
