My daughter loves this book. We got a chance to review it and it is already dog-eared from her looking through it so much. She's a little young to really get parts of it, like the election guide or employment; and she doesn't care so much about the year in sports or memorable Super Bowls. However, she loves the year in pictures, she keeps telling us about the offbeat news stories, and she's mesmerized by pretty much anything even remotely science-related in the book. It's well worth getting, with the sheer amount of information that can be gleaned from what it contains!
