If you visit your friend’s house and find them engrossed in the yellow-coloured Almanac 2025 for Kids, don’t worry — it’s the latest National Geographic Kids Almanac 2025. This fun and educational book is packed with fascinating facts and stunning images. It will keep you engaged on one hand, and will help you learn new things on the other.

Divided into sections about animals, science, nature and technology, it is spread over 368 pages and loaded with fun facts, activities and interviews with real-life National Geographic Explorers.

The book for kids, which was first published in 2010, maintains the tradition of delivering engaging content. It contains hundreds of beautiful pictures that help explain the topics, spread over 12 chapters. These images make the information easier to understand and more captivating. From animals to incredible places worldwide, the pictures make learning more fun.

Do you want to know why the skies turn orange? Why do we have seasons? How do animals see the world? What makes a rainbow? How do astronauts sleep in space? These are some of the questions answered in the book, and they encourage you to think ‘out of the box.’ You have everything from newly discovered dinosaurs to never-seen Mount Everest cats in the Animals section.

The age-old Pharaohs and a wealth of knowledge about American presidents are featured, while our very own Malala Yousufzai, the world’s youngest Nobel Award winner from Pakistan, gets a column to herself.

A fascinating chapter discusses how spies were used in different eras. The 2025 edition also features a section about this century’s most incredible science discoveries, including space exploration, robots and environmental changes. The almanac also has updated facts and maps of every country, helping readers learn more about the world.

The almanac also includes games, quizzes, jokes and activities to make learning even more fun. Like a schoolteacher, the almanac tests what you have learnt in the last chapter. Those who want to know everything about everything need the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2025. Whether using it for school or fun, it will help you discover new things and make learning exciting.
