I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
It is that time of the year when school is not only starting but the stream of birthday party invites is also sure to start coming in. During the first two years of my daughter’s school years, she had been to over 10 birthday parties. With each invite, it got harder and harder to come up with present ideas. While there are always the obvious choices of a gift card or board game, I prefer to give something that kids don’t have already. One item that often gets overlooked for birthdays is a book. Kids of various ages and sexes may not always like the same genre of book but one series is sure to put a smile on any kids face.
National Geographic Kids Books are always going to be a hit because they contain so much fun information packed inside. They contain a little of everything and with new books constantly coming out, you have good odds that the books are not already owned by the person you are giving them to.
Here are a few of National Geographic Kids Books’ latest offerings that make terrific birthday gifts for kids of all ages, whether they are book lovers or reluctant readers:
