The very words SNOW DAY can strike fear in many parents and a plethora of joy in the hearts of children of all ages. In our home when the weather man announced we would experience an abundance of snow the children would become so excited about the possibility of missing school and being able to play outdoors for an entire day! the children would build snow forts, sled, play hide n’ seek in the woods behind our home.

One thing is for certain they were each dressed in their warmest gear from the top of their heads to the bottoms of their feet.

Many of the members of my family enjoy receiving the gift of books and I most certainly enjoy receiving new to me books as a gift.

Below you will see 6 National Geographic Kids books that are perfect for gift giving and homeschool activities. Each book is hard covered and features photos inside that we have all come to associate with the high-quality standards of National geographic.

The Book of Heroines and The Book Of Heroes (ages 8-12) I became quickly engrossed in the Book of Heroines. Each individual is a hero or heroine waiting to bloom and both of these volumes are sure to inspire.

The Book of Heroines it’s all about Girl Power. Looking for a leading lady? How about more than 100 of them in one book! True stories of superstars, war heroes, world leaders, ladies in lab coats along with everyday women who have tow things in common – they were girls and they succeeded in helping to shape and change the world around us. Susan B. Anthony, Gloria Steinem, Katie Ledesky, Jane Goodall along with many more heroines. The Book of Heroines not only highlights how girls are just as capable as boys but also challenges the reader to be a heroine herself and provides tips on how to unleash her inner heroine.

The Book of Heroes highlights 100 men who had the boldness, bravery, and brains to meet the challenges of their day. Featuring a very diverse array of amazing minds and heroes from history, sports stars, actions heroes – Abraham Lincon, Mark Zuckerberg, Stephen Hawking, and Steve Irwin – boys will enjoy finding our even more about the role models they will find in the pages of this book, that will perhaps inspire them and let them know they too are capable of extraordinary things.

How Things Work (ages 7-10) Discover the secrets and science behind bounce houses, hovercraft, robotics, and everything else in between in this book that provides bot the quick answers AND complete explanations for all things high tech, low tech and not tech (how does glue work?). Detailed diagrams, revealing photos, hands-on activities and fascinating facts and help to demystify many common items – like how a microwave works, how an eraser makes pencil marks disappear and how and iPat or tablet can do so much – and also delves into the more futuristic – but very real – inventions like bionics, invisible cloaks and tractor beams.

5,000 Awesome Facts – About Everything (ages 8-12) Did you know that one-third of the earth is a dessert, that beets are sometimes used give red velvet cake its color or that there are more caribou than people in Alaska? Well, actually that is only the beginning of 5,000 Awesome Facts about everything 3 features gross facts about toilets and edible insects, gravity defying facts and about things that fly, awesome new dino-discoveries and even facts about newborn octopi and how many oranges it takes to make one glass of o.j. – just to name a few facts. This book is the ultimate boredom buster and is perfect for curious kids who love to learn about the weird, wild and wacky.

Ultimate Oceanpedia ( ages 7-10) Perfect for the ocean-obsessed, this book is one of the-most-complete ocean reference ever. Ultimate Oceanpedia is overflowing with amazing facts, photos, art, and diagrams that take the reader on a journey through the ocean. Whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks, porpoises, fish, crustaceans, sharks, sponges – from the weird to the wonderful – they are all featured in the breathtaking photographs with easy to read captions. Wild weather, underwater explorations, and tips and pointers on how to help keep our oceans thriving round out this thick keepsake volume.

My personal favorite Tales from the Arabian Nights: Stories of Adventure, Magic, Love, and Betrayal (ages 8-12 I’m a wee bit over the age of 12 but I enjoyed the stories in this volume). Do you have a child who loves magical stories about far away places? Classic stories and dazzling illustrations of princesses, kings, sailors, and genies al come to life in a stunning retelling of Arabian folk tales from One Thousand and One Nights and others in the collection include Alladin, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Sinbad the Sailor.
