Therefore, this would be a great choice with the full color pictures and fun information that kids will be interested in reading about. I really like this book! It has exciting facts, and even a section with Freaky weather! This book is wonderful because you rarely find books that are educational AND fun to read. I was very excited to get home and start reading it after I picked it up from the bookstore. In fact, I was so excited I had to0 start reading it on the ride home! It is a HUGE book, so I haven't completely finished reading it, but I have skimmed through so many pages that I reckon I have read about half of it. Anyways, I would definitely recommend this book to kids of all ages to adults of all ages..... meaning everyone! Go buy yourself a copy of this wonderful almanac.
