Summer Fun, Facts & Fantastic Adventures From National Geographic Kids

I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

My kids have always been a fan of non-fiction and mystery books, basically, they love anything true or adventurous. National Geographic books have always been their go-to books and still to this day they flip through them at bedtime.

Well to kick off the summer, National Geographic Kids has some great titles available that are all about facts and mystery. Depending on your child’s age, there is a National Geographic book or series perfect for them!

Here are some boredom-busting, brain-boosting titles that are perfect for fun summer reading:
