These 5 National Geographic Kids books are really great for summer because they are jam-packed with interesting activities, jokes, and trivia that will keep a child's attention occupied yet are relatively small in size making them easy to pack for a trip or store around the house. They also meet A Geek Daddy's philosophy of combining entertaining and educational elements together to help kids learn. "Learning" and "Fun" shouldn't be considered polar opposites by children so books and products that can combine the too in a meaningful way like these National Geographic Kids books get A Geek Daddy nod of approval. Here are the five books included in the National Geographic Summer Boredom Buster Book Kit:
