Summer Fun Facts and Adventure
National Geographic Kids
These Nat Geo Summer books are perfect for kids, so that they can keep their minds and imaginations active and entertained.
They are so much fun, but, of course, they are also educational.
Very educational.
The Explorer Academy is a series of fictional books that are recommended for ages 8 to 12.
The updated 2021 Almanac is for the same age range and Little Kids First Big Book of Why is for younger children.
But …. National Geographic Kids books can definitely be enjoyed by those of us who are outside of the recommended age range.
When I was a kid, I loved soaking up the fun facts in almanacs.
That hasn’t changed a bit and I could still spend hours with these beautifully illustrated, information packed National Geographic books.
Get these great books for your kids, but feel free to enjoy them, too!
