A decent book, that the right reader will be using for twelve whole months – and who can say that about the last book they bought someone? Geared towards the 2025 calendar, as should be obvious, this takes us through the year's celebrations, from New Year's to Christmas, giving us knowledge of all the whys and wherefores, and also tasks for things to do. So we make a basic pinwheel in honour of Jan 26 – International Day of Clean Energy, we celebrate the all-important World Hippo Day, and so on.
Of course, not all days are as forgettable as the International Owl Awareness Day (I mean, how do you make an International Owl more aware, anyway?!), and this clearly works better when it's a long-standing tradition that it's talking about, or when it's related to nature's calendar as a proper olde worlde almanac would be. To that end there are the phases of the moon for every month, and talk of the climate and what the world around us is like. But don't get to thinking this is a heavily detailed, day-by-day thing, for only about five or six days are really looked at in close-up per month, and the book is not light on activities.
It also has to be noted this is a British book for British audiences, and so the nature and eclipses etc won't tally with what some audiences worldwide might be expecting. But the right audience is well served by this, with things to go outside in search of, awareness of other cultural events increased, and a good balance of diverse subjects covered. I did laugh at the stamp on the back demanding we "read me, love me, pass me on" as by then it will be 2026 and this will be much less useful. But you never know, this could have started a healthy annual tradition. I wouldn't be too surprised.

The Collins 2025 Children's Almanac is a great small but possibly long read(if read month by month through out 2025),especially for children and younger teenagers.
It's packed full with accessible, easy to understand introductions to important dates and events throughout the year, this almanac would serve as a fantastic guide to the world around us for young children.
What I as an adult reader particularly enjoyed was the *Night Sky Diary* sections, a perfect addition for any budding stargazer, offering a comprehensive list of celestial events like super moons and meteor showers. It’s a wonderful tool to help young readers and curious adults connect with the cosmos, encouraging them to look up at the night sky and learn more about our universe.
Overall this is an engaging and educational read that combines fun facts with important learning opportunities an excellent addition to any young reader's bookshelf!
Thank you Collins kids for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own
