My children are all different and have a wide span of interests. Li'l Man is my child who seeks history, geography and more. He wants the facts. He talks to me a lot about places. Last year we read every book there was on the Titanic. He's eight and trips to Barnes and Nobel have him searching the history section and wanting books about Amelia Earhart ("the greatest mystery in history", he says) and World War II.
Li'l Man is at a critical learning stage where he is developing a lifelong passion for learning and books. I grew up watching National Geographic Kids. National Geographic Kids sent me three books to review. These books are my resource for keeping my li'l guy's nose in a book, learning on topics that are of high-interest to him. He loves the big, bold graphics and pictures and they give us plenty to talk with. We use the cool information that's packed on the pages as conversation starters. I have to read it when he goes to bed or he is smarter than me!
Just in time for Spring, National Geographic Kids debuts three tween-approved titles that are guaranteed to make kids want to turn off the device, crack open a book and look at the world around them in a whole new light:
