My daughter loves these almanacs. By itself it's a great book. However, if you have the 2013 almanac you'll see re-used material. My daughter was very disappointed to see many of the same articles. So 5 star if you don't have 2013, and two star if you do
I pre-ordered this for my 9 year old son as a homeschool aid for next year. As soon as it arrived the in the mail he took it and started reading. He loved that there is a full color photograph for each factoid.As a parent I appreciate that each section was created and edited by experts in that particular field. The book is packed with fun and interesting information. Although my son is a quick reader, it will take a while for him to read through and digest everything. This is a book that touches on the big-band theory, evolution and other science based thinking. It will be perfect for our homeschool curriculum next year.We haven't yet tried the Scanner App that links this book to the national geographic website. There are lots of opportunities to scan the icon throughout the book. If you don't have a smart phone you can still access the content through a web link on the inside cover. I'll update when I have used this feature.The contents are:Your world 2014 (Important events happening in 2014)Awesome adventure (explorers that have adventures)Amazing AnimalsWonders of NatureCulture ConnectionFun and GamesSuper ScienceGoing GreenHistory HappensGeography Rocks
There are several articles which are recycled. My child who was an avid fan of the 2013 was a bit disappointed about the ones she recognized in the 2014 or make that clear. She still likes it overall but we will definitely not purchase the 2015.
I'm giving this almanac 4 stars because I am comparing it to The Old Farmer's Almanac for kids (2014) which is clearly 5 stars, and the World Almanac for Kids 2014, which is 3 stars for me. (See my other reviews if you are interested in why I gave those ratings.)This almanac is more educational than the World Almanac for Kids, but slightly more focused on animals and such when compared to the Old Farmer's Almanac for Kids. I'll most likely purchase this one again, though, because when paired with the Old Farmer's one, there is nothing lacking as far as great and fun information that is highly educational, accompanied by many fun activities.Believe me, this is a great almanac and would most likely be rated 5 stars by me if I wasn't comparing it to the Old Farmer's one for kids. It's just that I believe it is slightly less interesting than the Old Farmer's one, but not by much. The National Geographic one is still highly readable, very well organized, and extremely educational. You can't go wrong buying this almanac.The World Almanac for Kids 2014 has too many pop culture references, which is one of the reasons I gave it 3 stars on the review I provided for it.
My kids absolutely love the annual National Geographic Kids almanacs. Every year they can't wait for the new one to come out. They pour over the pictures together. (The pictures are beautifully detailed and vibrant.) They also read and recall all kinds of interesting facts about things that they like to share with parents and grandparents.In an age of everything on the computer (which, of course, I'm using right now) I'm glad my kids haven't lost the art of curling up with an interesting magazine or a good book. I'm glad that National Geographic puts out something on paper that makes kids want to turn off the electronics and turn to a book!
I purchased this book for my son before we embarked on a 10 hour car ride. He has not stopped reading it since. This book is PACKED full of all sorts of cool factoids and information to keep young minds intrigued for hours. He learns so much from this book and loves to share all his new knowledge. He takes the book with him everywhere, and has been counting down the days until the 2015 Almanac comes out. I am so happy with this purchase that we keep buying it as gifts for other young readers. Don't pass this one up!
Second year we have bought this for grand daughters 7 and 10 and they have really enjoyed the almanac.We got it last year and their mom suggested we get it again....said the girls love it....enjoy reading the hundreds of facts and also have found it useful when doing school projects.An excellent value.
This is a permanent request on my grandson's Christmas listHe loves all the information about the multitude of different subjects.Great for preteens and even my 15 year old grandson.A tried and true success year after year.
