Celebrate President’s Day & Beyond With These Incredible Book Selections From Nat Geo Kids

It’s no secret to anyone that knows me that I love reading and have been a huge advocate of adding books to my kids book collection since before they were even born. My grandmother did the same fro me and send me books all of the time and in turn I ended up being an avid reader and wanted to pass that passion of reading along to my own kids. This is why I always jump at the chance to collaborate with Nat Geo Kids as their books are hands down my favorite for adding to my kids book collection. Nat Geo Kids books are not only educational but they include the most amazing of pictures and graphics to keep the kiddos entertained and also interested in reading. I received 5 fabulous books from Nat Geo Kids that are perfection for celebrating President’s Day and that I know my kids will love! Let’s take a look at all of them……
