Summer and great books go together like sun and surf whether you are traveling, heading to camp or just lounging around the house. Just in time for long flights, summer afternoon “boredom” and camp care packages, National Geographic Kids is releasing three new books for kids and tweens that will make for some fun summer reading!
Calling all patriots! Get ready to explore wacky wonders, facts, stats, tidbits, and trivia about America’s 50 states and territories! Did you know that there is a floating post office in Michigan? Or that a library book checked out by George Washington was returned to a New York City library 221 years late? Maybe you’d be amazed to discover that the ink used to print U.S. paper money is magnetic? In this latest and greatest edition of Weird But True!, you’ll encounter all kinds of bizarre people, places, events, and things that make our country great.
Perfect for a ROAD TRIP here comes Weird But True! USA. Sometimes the facts are so shocking that it is hard to believe but everything in this book is true! This book shows off fun facts from all 50 states as well as US territories. This book is great to take everywhere because you can just flip open the book and start reading from any point in the book. Wacky fonts, fun photographs and more make this the perfect book for browsing and the smaller size makes it great for camp care packages! Kids love to learn…especially when they don’t even think of it as educational and this book is fun for both kids and adults!
