The World Almanac for Kids 2003

Two fun references with punchy graphics hit bookstores this season. Completely revised and updated, The World Almanac for Kids 2003 covers more than 35 subjects including Animals, Computers, the Environment, and Sports alongside full-color photographs and a zippy design featuring neon-bright color-coded tabs by subject. All new games, puzzles and activities as well as ""Did You Know?"" factoids have been added; some sections, like the one on the US military, have been expanded. A timeline ""Remembering September 11"" opens the volume, followed by ""Faces and Places,"" a special section focusing on popular people and events from the past year (e.g., Olympic Gold Medalist Sarah Hughes and five-time Grammy winner Alicia Keys). A companion Web site (www.worldalmanacforkids.com) expands on several of the categories and offers additional puzzles and games.
