Going Back to School With Nat Geo Kids Books

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

This week my kids went back to school and it is going to be a challenge for a few weeks but then I know we will all slide into a routine. I do worry though about the “summer slide” which tends to happen. I always try once school gets out to set a routine for my kids to continue their studies, even if it is just reading a book. When my kids were little it was much easier as they practiced workbooks and read just for simple rewards, now they of course are teens and way more stubborn.

Luckily National Geographic is constantly coming out with new books that are that are both teacher AND kid approved. Here are some of the award winning reference titles by National Geographic Kids:

Animal Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition: 2,500 Animals with Photos, Maps and More!

Discover the thousands of animals that call Earth home in this big and beautiful edition of National Geographic’s best-selling Animal Encyclopedia.   Updated and reviewed by experts in the field for the most accurate, up-to-date information, this comprehensive reference  features 2,500 species, 1,000 stunning photos, and more than a dozen engaging maps. Jam-packed with info about animal homes and habitats, migration, life cycles and babies, the book also contains new, exclusive “From the Field” reports highlighting National Geographic explorers working around the world to study and protect every kind of animal, from giraffes to penguins and sharks to snails.  Perfect for reading for fun, researching for school, or for use in the classroom, Animal Encyclopedia provides an excellent overview of the diversity of animals that live on this planet and why each one is so unique in its own way. (ages 8-12, hardcover)

Treasury of Greek Mythology: Classic Stories of Gods, Goddesses, Heroes & Monsters

Is your child learning about Greek mythology this year?  Give them a leg up with the beautifully written and lushly illustrated National Geographic Treasury of Greek Mythology that offers timeless tales of gods and goddesses such as Zeus, Aphrodite, Apollo, and Athena and heroes and monsters such as Helen of Troy, Perseus, and Medusa.  National Geographic completes the book with embellishments of each story: sidebars for each god, goddess, hero, and monster link the myths to constellations, geography, history, and culture to help young readers connect the stories to real life events, people, and places. A family tree and a “cast of characters” profile page help make relationships between the characters clear, and a mapping feature adds to the fun and fascination. (ages 8-12, hard cover)

5,000 Awesome Facts (About Everything!)

Shake off the summer brain “fog” with this Amazon bestseller that is a treasure trove of high-interest, fascinating facts. Who knew that there were so many sweet things to learn about chocolate or that a dozen delicious details about peanut butter would show up on a page with a few splotches of jelly to whet our appetites? Keep turning the pages and a terrifyingly toothy shark tells you all about himself, while other spreads lay out tons of tips on toys, inventions, mysteries of history, robots, reptiles, sports, spies, wacky words, and much more. (ages 8-12, hardcover)
