National Geographic Kids Fall Favorites Bundle

It’s hard to believe it’s October, already! While I enjoyed the balmy breezes of summer, autumn is my very favorite time of year. It welcomes crisp weather and a plethora of gorgeous picturesque hues. I love being outside when the colors change, leaves begin to fall and the air has a distinct musky-earthy scent. But, as the cooler weather begins to encroach on our outdoor time, it means the family will be spending more time indoors. And kids get bored easily! We don’t always want to see them planted in front of video games, so it’s good to have healthier options for them to be exposed to… like reading. National Geographic Kids just released their collection of “Fall Favorites” and they take kids on a fun safari adventure they will never forget.

Whether you are looking to add to your family’s bookshelf, in need of quality resources to supplement distance learning, or starting on your holiday gift lists, these books are guaranteed to ignite imagination and bring the world to kids’ doorsteps.
