Bound To Stay Bound

School Library Journal - 08/15/2025 Gr 3–7—This almanac is a full-color, highly designed book with information in digestible snippets ranging in length from half-page to full-page spreads. The book is organized into sections by general topic with some being more information focused, like "Amazing Animals" and "Greatest Breakthroughs," while others are more activity focused, like "Laugh out Loud" and "Fun and Games." Most sections include related how-to ideas, such as a guide for building a telescope presented along coverage of the James Webb Space Telescope. The entries end with academic tips that sometimes feel disconnected to the content, such as the tips for writing a letter that gets results. Kids will find the factoids shared fascinating, such as the creation of the term lamb-scaping, used for lambs who do landscaping around solar farms. VERDICT An accessible, eye-pleasing almanac with a wide range of facts, activities, and entertainment, this is browsable and readable for kids who love to share interesting facts or a new joke with others.—Erin Wyatt - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
