National Geographic Kids Back With Great Books for Children
My husband and I have always instilled the importance of reading to our kids. During all my pregnancies we read to them at night, as babies, we read to them, and when they were old enough they read to us and each other. As our kids get older we are always looking for great books for them to read. National Geographic Kids were on their reading list this past year, so when the opportunity arose for us to review some of their new books, we jumped at the opportunity.

Our National Geographic Kids books from Moms Meet arrived and it was filled with goodies. As soon as we opened the box, all the kids grabbed up a book. It fills my heart with pride to see my youngest grab a book about animals and point out all the ones he knew. He “read” us the book that night.
