Age Range: 8 - 12 years
Paperback: 160 pages
National Geographic Children's Books
ISBN:978-1426216848
My thoughts: Putting the Angry Birds in a book just filled to brimming with wonderful factual information about islands, mountains, birds, animals, and other wonders of the world in which we live is simply enchanting.

Kids will get to individually meet the various Angry Birds in different sections and read a bit about Red's Big Adventure and then the author takes the reader into the paradise of islands, rolling mountains or jagged mountains. Birds of various types and places they live. Wonders of islands and types of islands (Yep! There are "types" of islands!).

There is a wonderful assortment of real photographs of these wonders running page after page of glorious reading enjoyment. Kids and parents alike will be enthralled with the bits and pieces of information they glean from within. And they will have lots of fun reading about these crazy, angry birds.  A unique book for Angry Birds fans.


National Geographic Children's Books has again brought forth a winning tome of education, entertainment, and enrichment for hours of great fun. Just the thing to have around for those lazy summer days. Kids will love it!

  2. My son goes to summer school every year. He is autistic and it is just easier to keep in a structured environment through out the year.

  3. My nieces like to spend a lot of time playing outside during the summer, which definitely keeps their minds stimulated. Educational programs and books are also great for kids during the summer.

  4. From the National Geographic Kids website, I learned that Jaguars are the largest of South America's big cats and that the Woolly Mammoth had tusks that were on average 15 feet long. Very interesting!

  6. I love how vibrant and appealing the kids NG site is! I learned that invertebrates make up 95% of all known animals, and the rings on an earthworm are called annuli.
