 Book Selection: Kid's
Alamanac for the 21st Century (Scholastic)
"This is a reference
book that's not afraid to treat kids like the intelligent
creatures they are (or are sure to become any minute
now.) Laden with graphics and fun facts, this robust
almanac imparts a wealth of real information, cleverly
presented. An anatomy of a personal check shows kids
exactly how those mysterious slips of paper that mom
and dad use as money actually work. A calendar of
comets shows when to expect the return of Halley's
comet (2061). A list of deadly plants reveals that
the benign-seeming azalea can be fatal." - Amazon.com
