The Big Book of Fun will keep them occupied with over 75 fun games, mazes, fill-in-the-blank stories, trivia tests and more! Pair it with the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2011 and Weird but True for the complete Summer Boredom Busting combo! Our whole family hasn’t been able to stop reading the Almanac all summer, and the kids really like telling everyone from friends to grandma and grandpa the weird facts they’ve read about in Weird but True. You can check out our review to see what else they liked.
We love these books and highly recommend them to everyone! A few would be great to stash for birthday and Christmas gifts as well! I don’t think there’s a kid out there that can resist them, lol! I know, they’re educational, but if you don’t tell neither will I!
. Promo: You can still save 20% when you buy 3 or more kids’ books at NationalGeographic.com.
Win It! Thanks to National Geographic one very lucky reader is going to win a prize pack that includes all three books mentioned here!

I'm such a huge fan of National Geographic! We have lots of their DVD's, and my son has a wall filled with photos we've cut from old issues. And the kids' site is great – a regular haunt for us. I especially like the activities section! Would love to win this one. Thanks for the opportunity!
