With the Holiday season officially upon us, many parents and grandparents are looking for fun, educational gifts for the kids in our lives. I know one of my favorite gifts as a child were books. In fact, books actually caused some headaches for my parents. I liked reading so much, that I would often fall asleep with books in my waterbed. (Yes, I am giving away my age here!) Well, as you can probably guess, I ended up popping holes in my mattress more than once. My parents eventually got tired of patching it, and got me a conventional bed, instead.
Anyway, I am delighted that my 3 kids seem to love books and learning as much as I did when I was a child. They're always asking loads of questions about nature and how things work. So when I got the opportunity to check out some great kids' books from National Geographic, I was over the moon excited.

Our Thoughts :
We absolutely love the selection of books we received. One of my teen's favorites was the Almanac 2014. It has tons of great info about how the world works!
We also couldn't get enough of Ultimate Weird But True 2. This wonderful book has stranger than fiction facts and things that will definitely make you go "Hmmmm". Everyone in my house, adults included, learned quite a bit while reading this fun book of facts!
All of the books are absolutely wonderful, and cater to kids of different ages and abilities. My teen is a bit old for the chapter books, but my soon to be 4 year old Sophie will get a lot of use from them in a year or so. She is a beginning reader and actually does a fabulous job for a child so young. The fact books and pet books are ideal for family reading time. What a great way to spend quality time with the kiddos while encouraging an open dialogue that's meant to educate and amuse?
I would definitely recommend checking out any of the above titles when you're doing your Holiday gift shopping this year! I think you'll be amazed by what your kids will learn, all while having fun!
