The kids are great. Their curiosity grows with them, and sometimes they will ask you questions that you do not know the answer. And every new discovery will lead to a lot of new questions. Prepare to hear the word “why” like billion times a day.
However, no matter how annoying kids can be, every parent knows that this is a normal phase of learning. They should satisfy a child’s desire for knowledge. Of course, children should not be bombed with dull facts. So their parents should be the masters of presenting information in an entertaining and understandable way.
Well, meet your new best friend, the series of books Weird but True, By National Geographic. Even those children who want to know everything, but they are not fans of reading, will love this literature. The books were made on the basis of the kid’s series and magazine. Both got great feedback from the audience. Weird but True books are something like an offshoot of the same name magazine.
Currently, this series contains 30 titles. There are 10 basic books, each of roughly 200 pages, with 300 highly interesting information. And then, there are “ultimate” editions which are packed with 1000 outstanding facts. Finally, National Geography completes the Weird but True series of books related to specific topics, like Christmas, sports, outer space, and so on.
All these make over 10,000 wacky facts that your kids will be delighted with. And you’ll be too. Be honest, you certainly don’t know that cockroaches are pretty skilled divers – they can spend more than 15 minutes under the water. That’s a great conversation starter, don’t you think?
Weird but True literature will keep your kids’ attention. Although these books are intended for school age, adults will also be interested in their content. And we believe that pre-school kids will also want to know what is written under those awesome pictures. You can read to them and let them look at the photos. But be prepared to give additional explanations for every fact.
The illustrations are top-notch, with minimal lines. These make Weird but True books perfect for kids who do not like to read, yet they want to learn something new. The text is no longer than 2 or 3 sentences that are easy to read and understand for both school and pre-school age. It can make them eager to find out more about some specific topic.
Maybe toddlers still don’t think that facts from these books are something interesting, but “older” kids can discuss Weird but True book content with parents, friends, even with teachers. It can be great stuff to show to their schoolmates for “show and tell” for example. Either how, they will learn something new. Just imagine how kids will be amazed by the fact that humans are distant relatives of slugs. How weird is that!?
Weird but True series are intended people of all ages who want to spread their knowledge. Once your kid finishes the reading, you can put the book on the shelf. They will definitely read it often in the future. You can “enrich” your kid’s library with new editions from time to time, to complete the entire series.
