National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019

My oldest daughter really enjoyed looking through this book. I enjoyed looking through it with her as well. Such a fun experience! We explored, learned new information, and laughed our way through this exciting book.

Are you ready to take an adventure? National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 is filled with amazing animals, science and technology, fun facts, jokes, and much more!

We were able to read through some animal stories, we were able to learn new facts and there were fun games and jokes we enjoyed along the way as well. We really enjoyed the list of daring women in U.S. history.

Also under history happens we checked out the must-see sights. One of the must-see sights was Petra and it's located in Jordan. It's in a 2,000-year-old ancient city and the buildings are carved into cliffs. Pretty cool huh?

As mentioned before there are a lot of cool facts included in the book. Did you know that there is an endangered cactus known as the Baseball Plant and it is only found in the deserts of South Africa? That's just one of the facts we found in the book. They even included a quiz so that your kids can see what kind of explorers they are.

I was very impressed with the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019. It really did take us on a fun adventure and it was a great way to spend some one-on-one time with my oldest. We'll definitely continue to explore National Geographic Kids' books!

The National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 typically retails for $14.99

Some features in the book include the 19 cutest animals amazing facts about Vikings and more.
