Fall Favorites from National Geographic Kids Books

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

My family has always been a fan of National Geographic books from when I was a kid to now my own kids enjoying them. I love how there are so many different varieties out there from ones with just pictures to ones with facts and even chapter books. We actually have the books all over and my kids pick them up all the time to read a fact or browse pictures.

Just in time for being cooped up in the winter, National Geographic Kids has come out with a bunch of great titles to check out.
