THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED – WINNER HANNAH – I SENT YOU AN EMAIL!
My 7 and 11 year old love The National Geographic Kids Magazine. They have all the back issues stacked up and leaf trough them while having a snack or when they are bored. My oldest loves saying, ” mom did you know…” or regaling me of some off beat fact that only Nat Geo would research. So when I received these 3 awesome books; Weird But True, The Big Book Of Fun and The 2011 Almanac, I knew I would be hearing tons of trivia and facts.
In Weird But True did you know: If you run in the rain, you will get about 50% wetter than if you stand still? Or A hundred year old chocolate bar sold for nearly $700.
Betcha didn’t know that it took 570 gallons of paint to paint the White House or in 1987 American Airlines saved $40,000 by eliminating ONE olive from each salad served in first class and there is cell phone reception at the summit of Mt. Everest. I looked threw The Almanac 2011 and just kept flipping threw it, I couldn’t put it down. It is divided into several sections like Wonders of Nature, Awesome Adventure and History Happens. With over 300 pages, it is sure to keep your kids entertained.
In The Big Book of Fun, my boys took this book on vacation. It keep them occupied in the car and at restaurants and even in the hotel before bed.
Weird But True – Based upon the hugely popular page in the National Geographic Kids magazine, kids will definitely say “wow!,” “cool!” and “gross!” as they flip through the 301 outrageous facts and learn, for instance, that peanut butter can be converted into a diamond, an elephants tooth can weigh as much as a bowling ball and a dog can make about 100 different facial expressions!
* The Big Book of Fun – Featuring National Geographic’s signature photography and vivid graphics, this interactive game book includes over 75 games, mazes, fill-in-the-blank stories, trivia tests and more.
* National Geographic Kids Almanac 2011 – Introduced last year and updated for 2011, this best-selling almanac has quickly become the gold standard. Kids will love the more than 50 puzzles, projects ands cool experiments, the 500 pictures of our planet and all that’s on it and the more than 5,000 fun and amazing facts. Parents will love it because its chapters on science, geography and history — plus more than 15 homework-helper sections — is a terrific way to kick-start their kids’ brains as the new school year approaches.
Buy It: You can purchase all The National Geographic for kids books at The National Geographic Store.
