National Geographic Kids Boredom Buster Review & Giveaway

I am sure by now just about everyone has heard I am bored or there is nothing to do from their kids.  Although it is exciting not to go to school let's face it, kids still get bored. (I think there is something wrong with them!)  I had the chance to review this WAY COOL boredom buster package from National Geographic.

My younger kids really enjoyed me reading these to them and my younger brothers (7 & 9) sat and read through a whole book.  I even enjoyed them.

* Weird But True - Based upon the hugely popular page in the National Geographic Kids magazine, kids will definitely say "wow!," "cool!" and "gross!" as they flip through the 301 outrageous facts and learn, for instance, that peanut butter can be converted into a diamond, an elephants tooth can weigh as much as a bowling ball and a dog can make about 100 different facial expressions!

* The Big Book of Fun - Featuring National Geographic's signature photography and vivid graphics, this interactive game book includes over 75 games, mazes, fill-in-the-blank stories, trivia tests and more.

* National Geographic Kids Almanac 2011 - Introduced last year and updated for 2011, this best-selling almanac has quickly become the gold standard. Kids will love the more than 50 puzzles, projects ands cool experiments, the 500 pictures of our planet and all that's on it and the more than 5,000 fun and amazing facts. Parents will love it because its chapters on science, geography and history -- plus more than 15 homework-helper sections -- is a terrific way to kick-start their kids' brains as the new school year approaches.

I am lucky enough to be able to give one lucky reader all 3 books!
