Dear Readers,
I’m delighted to present our Spring 2018 list! From fierce sharks to brilliant stars, from
adorable puppies to creative engineers, this season’s books focus on science, adventure,
history, and of course facts, photos, and all things animals. Within these colorful pages
we amaze fact-hounds, captivate reluctant readers, and inspire curious kids alike. PAGE
3
National Geographic Kids approaches timely and all-important STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) subjects through a new and unique lens. In
the Ultimate Book of Sharks renowned photographer Brian Skerry dives deep to bring
us face-to-face with this fantastic and fascinating fish. Astrophysicist and best-selling
author Neil de Grasse Tyson delights readers with his lively and relatable discussion of
space science in StarTalk. And with Solve This! our explorers encourage creative—and
sometimes hilarious—problem-solving in this hands-on conceptual engineering book. PAGE
5
We continue to inspire kids to learn about our planet by presenting oddball facts,
getting outside with pets, or answering hundreds of questions in some of our most
fun and playful books. In Weird But True! Animals our number one franchise meets
kids’ number one interest. Little Kids First Big Book of Why 2 promotes a lifetime
full of learning for our littlest and most curious adventurers. Best-selling author
Seth Casteel lets us cuddle and chase the world’s cutest dogs in It’s a Puppy’s Life. PAGE
Spring 2018 begins our major celebration, the Year of the Bird, and with our National 7
Geographic Kids Bird Guide of North America, 2nd edition, kids will fall in love with
our feathered friends.
Of course, our list would not be complete without our best-selling Almanac 2019.
This is the one book I carry with me everywhere I go. Jam-packed with 352 pages of
amazing animal info, geography, technology, science, and games, there’s something to
entertain all kinds of wiggly kids on car rides, during long waits, at quiet time, or anytime.

Thank you for supporting National Geographic’s mission and our belief in the power
of science, exploration, and storytelling to change the world. Happy Reading!

SOLVE THIS!
Wild and Wacky Challenges for the Genius Engineer in You
By Joan Marie Galat
From the invention of the simple wheel to the International Space Station,
the miracles of engineering are all around us. Engineers dream up new ideas
and bring them to life while figuring out creative solutions to problems they
encounter along the way. How do they do it?
In this dynamic book, kids are confronted with wacky scenarios like this one:
You’re playing with your little sister when a golden eagle swoops down and
grabs her favorite teddy bear. Mid-flight, the eagle drops it to the ground.
But now the plushie is on the other side of a raging creek. How do you save
the day? Each challenge invites kids to think creatively to problem-solve.
Then they can see how different National Geographic explorers and engineers
tackled the challenge.

stories about close calls—and the ones that got away. It’s a great way to bring kids face to face with animals—out of the zoo, out of the
library, and into the wild.
