National Geographic Kids Almanac 2026

Gr 3-7–This almanac is a full-color, highly designed book with information in digestible snippets ranging in length from half-page to full-page spreads. The book is organized into sections by general topic with some being more information focused, like “Amazing Animals” and “Greatest Breakthroughs,” while others are more activity focused, like “Laugh out Loud” and “Fun and Games.” Most sections include related how-to ideas, such as a guide for building a telescope presented along coverage of the James Webb Space Telescope. The entries end with academic tips that sometimes feel disconnected to the content, such as the tips for writing a letter that gets results. Kids will find the factoids shared fascinating, such as the creation of the term lamb-scaping, used for lambs who do landscaping around solar farms.
