Summer Fun Facts and Adventure

National Geographic Kids

feature nat geo summer books

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!

    I’ve had National Geographic books for kids before and they were nice quality. The photographs are always nice. The Big Book of Why and the Almanac sounds interesting even for adults. I’ve only recently heard of their Explorer Academy books, but don’t know much about them.
