Take an adventure! Review on National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 and Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret.

In this blog post, I'll be sharing my thoughts on two fun and exciting books.
 National Geographic Kids Almanac will take you on an adventure of learning and exploring new information. Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret is the first book in the new Explorer Academy seven-book series which will take you on code-breaking missions and much more. These two books will bring adventure, explore curiosity, and take your child on a fun journey.

National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019


My oldest daughter really enjoyed looking through this book. I enjoyed looking through it with her as well. Such a fun experience! We explored, learned new information, and laughed our way through this exciting book. 

Are you ready to take an adventure?  National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 is filled with amazing animals, science and technology, fun facts, jokes, and much more! 

We were able to read through some animal stories, we were able to learn new facts and there were fun games and jokes we enjoyed along the way as well. We really enjoyed the list of daring women in U.S. history.
Also under history happens we checked out the must-see sights. One of the must-see sights was Petra and it's located in Jordan.  It's in a 2,000-year-old ancient city and the buildings are carved into cliffs. Pretty cool huh?  

As mentioned before there are a lot of cool facts included in the book. Did you know that there is an endangered cactus known as the  Baseball Plant and it is only found in the deserts of South Africa? That's just one of the facts we found in the book.  They even included a quiz so that your kids can see what kind of explorers they are. 

I was very impressed with the National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019. It really did take us on a fun adventure and it was a great way to spend some one-on-one time with my oldest. We'll definitely continue to explore National Geographic Kids' books!

    Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret


    • Geared towards middle graders (8-12).
    • Fact-based-fiction series. Inspired by the real-life adventures of real National Geographic explorers.
    • Exploring cultures and diversity
    This fact-based fiction novel series was exciting on so many levels. My daughter said she felt like she was on an adventure from beginning to end.  This book was filled with code-breaking missions, puzzles, adventures, and exploring many cultures.

    The kids in this exciting novel series are to train at the Explorer Academy so that they can become the explorers of the next generation. They explore by looking for clues and breaking codes.

    The main characters in the story include Cruz Coronado, Lani Kealoha, Emmett Lu, Sailor York, and Marisol Coronado. You can visit Explorer Academy's main characters to learn more about these characters.
    This fact-based- fiction novel series was great for encouraging problem-solving and developing a sense of observation and reasoning.

    Sometimes it can be a challenge to get children to read. This book is a great way to get youngsters excited about literature.
