National Geographic Bundle #Giveaway
Welp Thanksgiving is behind us, and Christmas is on its way. Wowza this year just flew by. Today I wanted to share with you a great gift roundup and giveaway to win an amazing bundle of National Geographic Books.
Books make the best gifts, a thoughtfully selected book will hold a child’s interest long after the new toys have been tossed aside, and books are also very budget-friendly. National Geographic Kids Books is featuring SIX new titles that are perfect for gift giving. They are big, bold and beautiful hardcovers; cater to book enthusiasts and reluctant readers alike; and are fun, inspiring AND educational (but don’t tell your kids that last part!).
I had the pleasure to check out all of these books, and they are so much fun to read. I would have to say my favorite is The Book of Heroines, why? Because it is all about girl power and honestly there is nothing better 😉 Below you will find a listing of all new books from National Geographic as well as all the books that you will win. This is a great way to start the holiday off with a bang.
National Geographic Books For Kids
How Things Work (ages 7-10, $19.99) – Discover the secrets and science behind bounce houses, hovercraft, robotics and everything in between in this book that provides both the quick answers AND complete explanations for all things high tech, low tech and no tech (how DOES glue work???). Detailed diagrams, revealing photos, hands-on activities and and fascinating facts all help to demystify many common items — like how a microwave works, how an eraser makes pencil marks disappear and how an iPad or tablet can do so much — and also delves into the more futuristic — but very real — inventions like bionics, invisible cloaks and tractor beams. “Tales from the Lab” and profiles of talented engineers, inventors, and scientists provide plenty of inspiration. How Things Work is perfect for the kid who thinks “just because” isn’t a REAL answer. Several spreads from How Things Work can be found by clicking here.
