What's the difference between a crocodile and an alligator? What are the seven wonders of the ancient world? Did you know that polar bears have black skin? Can a human run faster than an elephant? Why do ice cubes float? This 320-page, kid-friendly almanac of facts and figures is packed with information on things that kids are curious about, from Leonardo DiCaprio to black holes. You'll learn about the metric system, highlights of world history, art, books, computers, health, language, law, movies, money and business, Braille, sports and games, and much more. Adults who want to brush up on polyhedrons and solar system facts may want to borrow this conversational, easy-to-grasp, abundantly illustrated resource. (Ages 8 to 12) --Karin Snelson

Not just for kids!,
By Joe (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The World Almanac for Kids 1999 (Paperback)
Even though this book is a little outdated, I found it to be better than the newer editions of the world almanac and a really good source of fascinating tid bits about anything and everything. It has a little of everything - history, geography, literature, etc, and is a great distraction on a rainy day.
