National Geographic Books
My two oldest kids were snuggled up in our family chair reading a book together.
“What book are you reading?” I asked as they giggled together.
“A National Geographic Joke Book,” my 7 year old answered back.
I nodded.
She continued, “You know Mom, when I see the words National Geographic, I just know it is going to be a good book.”
I couldn’t agree more. As a teacher with a Master of Reading Education K-12, a parent, and an avid reader, I have enjoyed reading many of the National Geographic books to and with my children. They also are a great way to work on Reading Comprehension with your child.
As part of our after school learning, we check out National Geographic books all the time from the library. We own 30+ National Geographic non-fiction leveled readers and have been a quest to read all of them and record the ones we have read using these SUPER READER resources from National Geographic Kids.
For several years we’ve been National Geographic Kids Magazine Subscribers!
I printed off this poster and the kids have checked off which books they have read. (So you can see why I was extremely excited to review the set from Moms’ Meet!)
A week after my two oldest kids were snuggled up in the chair reading their joke book I received my book box from Mom’s Meet and just as my seven year old commented on earlier, National Geographic Books are good books.
We couldn’t wait to open the box and read through them all. My seven year old was ESTATIC that the newest Just Joking Book was there and wanted to start the funny fill-in book immediately. My four year old wanted to read the Leveled Readers and the Big Book of Why because he is very curious about everything.
The Explorer Academy Books, Weird But True Book Series, and Explore My World Books are also big hits in our home from National Geographic Kids.
And I snuggled in with the adult reads (which I honestly didn’t know they offered prior to receiving this kid). The only thing missing was some educational board books for my 1 year old!
The books are made of high-quality paper, with amazing photographs, and interesting facts. As a parent, I can count on their books to be both educational and entertaining. I can also count on them to be factual and well-written.
I believe in purchasing well-made products that will hold up over the years so that all my children (and possibly grandchildren) will have the chance to enjoy. I can count on National Geographic books to withstand kid handling and are, in my opinion, high-quality books.
These books also make fantastic gifts for kids and adults because of their high quality.
National Geographic books for kids open up a world of discovery, sparking curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Whether your child dreams of exploring the deep sea, traveling through space, or uncovering ancient civilizations, these books provide the perfect gateway to adventure.
