Illustrated with full-color photographs on every page, The World Almanac for Kids 2008 is a completely updated, fact-filled reference and resource covering topics from animals to science to branches of government, sports, American history, and popular culture. The eye-catching layouts, jazzed up from page to page, make The World Almanac for Kids 2008 fun to browse through as well as being educational, and an index allows for quick reference. Highly recommended for grade school library and children's reference shelves.

I bought this for my eager-to-learn niece because her grandpa reads the adult almanac all the time. It has 1-4 page sections on the same topics as the world almanac. Difference: it's in full-color displays like magazine pages. Very inviting and has the crucial info that a kid might want to use to answer questions such as "What's the capital of Tupalu?" Frankly, all the adults picked it up to flip through, too, because it draws in the reader. The reading/interest level is probably middle-to-late middle school.

This book and Scholastic's book of world Records are favorites. This book is more "busy" and jam packed with facts whereas Scholastic World Records is more basic and easyer to read for a younger child. I got this world almanac for something different but my son wished I had gotten a newer World Records so he could compare his older version with a newer one.

This is a great book for curious minds. I bought this for both my boys 8 and 5 and they love the facts and behind the scence information that they can read about. It is very colorful and keep the attention for long periods of time. Quality book for long road trips and learn at the same time.

I bought this as a christmas gift for my 9 year old nephew. He loved it! not only does it educate the kids but it's fun reading.

I bought this almanac as a gift for my 8.5-year-old grandaughter for Christmas, one of a dozen packages, and the least expensive. This is what she was most interested in. She read off-and-on for the next 3 to 4 hours that she was spent with me. Great!

I highly recommend this book. I have bought the world almanac for kids 4 years in a row and it is by far the most used book in the house. I have bought multiple copies for gifts as well each year and think every child should have one. It is full of fun, information and facts and is great for bedtime reading....

Almost every time my grandchildren come over, this book comes out. It has lots of interesting facts for kids, and they can't seem to put it down. Easy to read, also.

I purchased this book as a Christmas Gift for my grandson who is in the fourth grade. I will have to wait to see what he says about the book. A good deal!

This book has many facts that can be used for many years. The most important part I like is the US History beginning with 1492 Columbus sailing the ocean blue;up to the present time. The old one I had dated 2001, was too far out of date. This book is better than a set of encyclopedias and takes up less room. Thank you...I have no idea where I
