Summer is almost here. Are you planning any vacations or summer road trips with the kids? If so, National Geographic Kids Books has two great new books that will make your family road trip fun and educational and even let your kids help with the planning.
The
Ultimate U.S. Road Trip Atlas is filled with maps, games, fantastic facts and boredom busters (mini challenges like using your cars navigation system to locate things and snapping pictures of special things). Each state is included and features a map of the state, 5 cool things to do there, fun facts about the state and the animals that live there and even quirky roadside attractions. And, in case this comes in handy, helpful traffic laws you won't believe (Did you know it's illegal to ride a zebra down the road in Derby, Kansas?).
If your plans include exploring the great outdoors, check out the
National Parks Guide U.S.A., created by NG Kids together with the National Park Trust. It's packed with information about each park, broken down into regions of the country, and gives you ideas and tips for fun things to do, best views to see, and lots more. Also be sure to mark your calendar for May 19th --
National Kids to Parks Day. The National Park Trust and their mascot Buddy Bison wants everyone to have an American park experience and invites every family in America to visit a national, state or local park on this special day.
And for iPhone users, the
National Parks by National Geographic iPhone app is an interactive guide to the national parks. The app gives you information for parks including local time, weather, how to get there, when to go, where to camp or stay, what to do, what to see, and more.
