Summer Boredom Buster Giveaway from National Geographic Kids

I know the summer has just begun but already a lot of my friends are talking about their kids saying they are "bored".

When I was a kid, I said it all the time. Mostly because there was zero structure and I had no structure. Playing all day can be boring.

Reading is never boring! When I was a kid, I read everything from the newspaper to my Tiger Beat Magazines to my Little House on the Prarie books.

A few months ago, my kids reviewed Weird But True and loved it. We still read it often. Since my review, I purchased 3 more to give as presents.

We also review National Geographics Kids mini magazines. They are perfect for little ones and since then we have a subscription.

Thanks to National Geographic Kids I have been bestowed a set of really awesome books for one lucky reader. The set includes:

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.
