Did you know:
1. Whistling or saying the word “pig” on a ship is believed to bring bad weather.
2. Pointing a laser beam at an airplane or helicopter is illegal. The beam can reach all the way to the aircraft and make it hard for the pilot to see.
3. Stone carvings of jaguars that date back 500 or more years have been discovered in Mexico.
These three facts are just a sampling of what you can learn about in the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019! The most popular kids almanac on the planet, some of its features include Cool Things for 2019 on various themes from the 19 cutest animals to 19 amazing facts about Vikings and more.

If you thought National Geographic was only all about facts, you might be surprised that they have published the first book in their new Explorer Academy middle-grade fiction book series – The Nebula Secret. One minute 12-year-old Cruz Coronado is an ordinary kid, and the next he’s among a select group of students at the coolest school on the planet—a ship that travels the world! A fact-based fiction book inspired by the real adventures of National Geographic explorers, this book contains not only a story that encourages observation, reasoning, and problem-solving, but also features code-breaking and puzzles within the story. As well, the book features a Truth Behind the Fiction section that profiles the real-life explorers and their work. These books feature diverse kids from around the globe. I know Zachary is looking forward to reading it!
