I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
While toys may be on the top of every kid’s list, one thing they may not think of but will definitely appreciate is National Geographic kid’s books. My kids honestly have gotten these every year from preschoolers to teens and they have always been a hit. They are great because they are the gift that keeps on giving as most of the titles are reference/fact books that can be read over and over.
You may think your child has every National Geographic title but they are constantly coming out with new books that are kid-approved thanks to amazing photos and interesting facts. Here are some of the award-winning titles by National Geographic Kids:
This is a gift that kids can really sink their teeth into!

Special sections introducing the dinosaur family tree, a prehistoric era timeline, the geography of the prehistoric globe, what happened to the dinosaurs, and a dinosaur dictionary (with phonetic pronunciations) are also included. Readers will find inspiration from profiles of diverse paleontologists from around the world. The oversized hardcover format showcases stunning, full color dinosaur illustrations on every page and the custom-made, kid-friendly maps were created by National Geographic’s legendary cartography and exploration experts. Vetted and curated by Dr. Steve Brusatte — a paleontologist on faculty at the School of Geosciences at the University of Edinburg, a PhD recipient from Columbia University, and the science consultant for the Jurassic World franchise — this atlas contains the most detailed and accurate information not only about dino “fan favorites” but also about the most recent dinosaur discoveries from less explored dig sites around the world.
