One of our favorite books last year we reviewed was the 2010 National Geographic Kids Almanac.
This year’s edition is out and it’s a marvelous book to share with your science loving, animal digging, curious about nature kid! If you’re looking for a book that will foster a love of learning over the course of the lazy, hazy months of summer, this is it! The book is divided into 10 sections, from Amazing Animals to Geography Rocks to History Happens. My 8-year-old took the 2010 edition to school last year for show and tell and it was a big hit with all her classmates. This is one of those books your child will pick up and always find something new to learn.
The 2011 National Geographic Kids Almanac features:
- More than 15 homework-helper sections
- More than 50 puzzles, projects, and really cool experiments
- More than 500 pictures of our planet and all that’s on it
- More than 5,000 fun and amazing facts

A bald eagle’s name comes from the english word balde for white.
I learned that in the stories section they currently have a story about the Statue of Liberty being gifted on July, 4, 1884. Neat! My kids will love this site!
I learned about the new baby red panda born at the national zoo. It’s so cute.
The National Zoo’s female red panda Shama gave birth to her first cub on June 16! This is the first red panda born at the Zoo in15 years. Red pandas are an endangered species–there are only about 2,500 red pandas left in the wild. But if you visit the Zoo, you may be able to see Shama and her little one from the upper viewing platform on the Asia Trail.

I learned that before detergent is used on the wildlife affected by the oil spill, they first have to rub them down with vegetable oil which breaks down the heavier oil. Unfortunately, not all the wildlife cleaned will survive.
I learned that they have a cool recipe for Berry Good Cake!
Thanks!

The Bald in Bald Eagle actually means “white”.
Since 1986, National Geographic has helped to build a national network of K-12 teachers, college geographers and educators, school administrators, and others dedicated to improving geography education. The Geography Alliances, which operate as grassroots organizations, along with Education & Children’s Programs and other key partners, work to promote geography education at local, state, and national levels. Your local alliance can help you apply for grants and extend your skills
