Christmas Gift for a 9 year old. January 18, 2008
M. Williams (CA)
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.
Every child should have one December 21, 2007

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....
The best gift December 26, 2007
J J (Phoenix AZ)
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!
 Great for kids who love facts, ages 9 and up December 18, 2007

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.
