National Geographic Kids 2014 Almanac {Review & Giveaway 2 Winners!) Plus, Kindle Giveaway!

I have talked about my super cute little man a little bit before.  He is insanely handsome, loves jokes, creative, super sweet and really, really smart!  The kid is only 4 ½ and is already starting to read and spell.  He loves reading and loves facts.  The other day in the car I was speechless when he pointed out a bird and said “hey mom is that a peregrine falcon? When they dive they fly really super-fast….like me. “  I have a hard time finding things for him to do and read to keep his little mind learning and growing.  I really want to keep him challenged so he can continue to love learning. 

To say we have LOVED the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2014 would be a massive understatement.

The latest edition of the world’s bestselling almanac for kids, the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2014, makes it’s debut with tons of all new content, state of the art mobile media features for iPod Touch and smart phones that allows kids to download National Geographic videos, photo galleries and games AND eight “Homework Help” sections. Targeted to ages 8 and up, the almanac is packed with amazing animals, cool inventions, dinosaurs, robots, maps, games, activities, and helpful chapters that cover technology, countries, presidents, animals, weather, funny roadside attractions, outer space, green tips, and natural disasters, just for starters.

My 4 year old will sit and look at the wonderful, brightly colored pictures all day and we read it together all.the.time.  I don’t know why I would expect anything less from The National Geographic Society.  They have brought a wonderful book into our home that I can encourage my little man to learn from for years!  I really love that this will grow with him. The cool facts and the incredible photos are what really intrigue him now.  His favorite thing is to ask my husband and me, “mommy, daddy, did you know….” and then spout off some fact he has learned.  I am amazed how much he has learned and remembered from reading this book.   I know as he grows he will still find the facts interesting, but there are also quizzes, games and digital extras that I know he will love.  It’s so great that National Geographic has mixed so much fun with learning! Learning should be fun!

Along with the amazing and colorful pictures, there are a wide variety of topics to read about that have helped me get into learning discussions with him.  The book includes topics such as animals( the cute furry kind, the water loving kind and the ferocious kind), bugs, dinosaurs, weather, different cultures, green living, history, science, geography…seriously soooo many fun topics and facts. 

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2014

I could go on and on about the amazing things in this book.  Like the page about “15 things to do before you grow up.”  Or, “All about you: what your birth order says about you. “  My husband and I have even looked through the book a few times after our little man is in bed.  There are fascinating things for EVERYONE to learn.  I wonder if I read the “6 tips for a good night’s sleep” to my 2 month old we will get more sleep. 🙂 (I’ll keep you posted on that one…… )

    I want to read my copy of the 2014 Almanac from National Geographic Kids with my four year old niece and my two year old nephew. My niece hasn’t begun pre-kindergarten yet and I feel being home all day lives her with little stimulation besides the television (I also want her to have other interests besides princesses and pink things.) My nephew is very smart probably due to him being around his sister so much, so I feel like he will gain much enjoyment from the Almanac as well.
