National Geographic Kids Holiday Gift Ideas + Giveaway
Very interesting facts. Hope kids like this more...
This is a National Geographic Kids sponsored post.
Have you ever read one of the National Geographic Kids books? They are geared towards kids ages 8-12, but I love them! The facts are interesting, the pages are filled with full color photos and it’s written in plain english so it makes sense.
When my 12-year-old daughter saw the books on the kitchen table, she squealed, grabbed all three and sat down for a few hours pouring over them. Every page I heard, “Mom, look at this.”
What is National Geographic Kids?
- National Geographic Kids teaches kids about the world and how it works.

Something a Little Weird: Weird but True 8
Kids love Weird But True! It is a small book with pages and pages of outrageous facts. The facts are simple 1 or 2 sentences and presented in a fun way. The one that my daughter and I learned and still use almost daily is:
