Summary Of The Book

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2012 is a child’s delight. The book captivates the interest of its readers, aged between 6 to 14 years, by providing fun facts on both common as well as unusual topics. Its format of presentation, which includes short descriptions accompanied by bright, colourful images, make it appealing even to reluctant readers.

This almanac is also popular with parents because it motivates kids to learn about our vast and contemporary world. The Homework Help sections include a variety of projects that encourage children to work on these assignments throughout the year. It also includes guidance about tasks that students do on a regular basis, such as letter-writing, delivering speeches and conducting research.

The National Geographic Kids Almanac 2012 is filled with over 500 images, 20 maps and 350 pages of easy to read text. The descriptions and the photographs are placed randomly throughout the entire book, thus making it more appealing to its readers. Some of the topics included in the book are History Happens, Amazing Animals, Wonders of Nature and Going Green. Though the book does not cover all the subjects in great detail, it can however, be used as an adjunct to core content. Keeping the target audience in mind, the book’s unique presentation makes it seem more like entertainment than study material. 

The National Geographic Society has also added some extra elements that go beyond the book. Readers can access information on the Internet by using a smartphone to scan codes placed inside the book. The online features take the book to a whole new level. Different games, videos, calendars, slide-shows and projects make the readers more interactive and thus more interested.
