Our Thoughts:
These books are truly brilliant! Rose has been a fan of National Geographic books - especially the "weird but true" books - since she was little (I have even enjoyed learning cool facts from the books as well). They are filled with such a wealth of information and weird facts presented in a fun way so it engages the readers. I would highly recommend any book by National Geographic for the beautiful photographs alone but couple that with the knowledge jam-packed into each book that your children truly enjoy reading - that is priceless!
