Do you know what's great about an Almanac? The answer is it's easy to find all types of information in an organized manner. But, what's great about a NG Kids Almanac is not only does it have great information, the photos are phenomenal. But that's not all NG Kids has to offer, there are games, special calendars, and special links so readers can be more interactive. There are more than 500 incredible photos through out. Some of the weirdest animals you will ever see, for example, Mr. Blobbly is literally a fish that looks like a mushy gray blob. He even has his own website and he's housed in a museum and you can follow him on Facebook. His scientific name is Fathead Sculpin fish. Another strange creature kids will love to read about is nicknamed after the Abominable Snowman, it's the Yeti Crab. He's small blind and furry. If readers want to know the secret life of turtles there is a site listed and when you go to the link you will see the animals live and in action with a crittercam-wildcam right at your fingertips. While flipping through the vivid and colorful pages readers can read about Holidays, Culture, Food and Super Science facts.
