Great Book, Cool Facts!
My 13 year old has loved these books for years now. Fun and informative, they are chocked full of great facts like "A Short History of Tall Buildings" and "News of the Year". There are puzzles, lists of just about every category you can think of and fact sections. Very colorful, easy to read and has a lot of great pictures. It's definately not the old boring almanacs we used to read!
