From the Publisher

04/01/2017
Gr 4–6—Fortunately for many publishers, getting in on the almanac/list genre often proves advantageous—kids just seem to love these quick reads that are full of timely information and up-to-date facts. This almanac is chock-full of more than 600 color photos, depicting everything from adorable animals to Taylor Swift to current athletes. It's a treasure trove of the hottest topics from 2016, designed in a graphically pleasing manner sure to entice elementary and early middle schoolers. Readers will enjoy learning about cool new inventions, apps, and record-breaking stats. The scope of this entertaining and educational title is broad, covering animals, art, sports, politics, medicine, energy, computers, and more. The section on the presidents stops at Barack Obama, and one other oddity stands out: the first ladies are listed with their maiden names, a nice addition that might be somewhat confusing to younger readers. VERDICT Great for list lovers, trivia fans, and reluctant readers who just want to browse. Guaranteed to circulate in school and public libraries.—Sharon Verbeten, Brown County Library, Green Bay, WI
