National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 and Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret is our family book review in partnership with Moms Meet. Our family is an avid National Geographic Kids reader and when we received the new National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 and Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret, we couldn’t be more excited because we have seen first hand with our daughters how National Geographic Kids inspires them to explore the world through their award-winning magazines, books, apps, videos, website, and has successfully set itself apart as the only kids brand with a world-class scientific organization at its core.
The National Geographic Kids Almanac is the most popular kids almanac on the planet and our family loves that this annual best seller delivers the kind of smart, fast, and fun information that our curious daughters love. It covers all of their favorite topics: animals, nature, science, space, technology, history, and so much more.
The National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 definitely created wonderful moments for our family to connect over more than 300 pages of news, facts, and quizzes. Our girls got even more excited to learn that kids are invited to participate in the Lions Forever Almanac Challenge for a chance to win a $500 gift card to host a lion conservation party celebrating their love of lions and the importance of protecting them. Now that’s what I call extending their learning to impact the world around them.

The National Geographic Kids Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret is sure to awaken readers’ inner adventure and curiosity about the world around them to our oldest girls’ delight. Our oldest girls could not wait to dive into adventure, danger, and a thrilling global mission that awaited 12-year-old Cruz Coronado as he leaves his tranquil home in Hawaii to join 23 talented kids from around the globe to train at the Explorer Academy, an elite school for explorers, with the world’s leading scientists to become the next generation of great explorers.

This uniquely interactive series invites readers to break codes and solve puzzles alongside Cruz and his friends as they travel the world aboard the ship Orion, immersing themselves in other cultures and learning about science and technology from real explorers in the field.
Our family was excited to learn that National Geographic Kids is celebrating the launch of Explorer Academy with sweepstakes for one lucky family to experience a spectacular ship-based expedition, just like the students at Explorer Academy. The grand prize is a family trip for four to Alaska’s Inside Passage from National Geographic Expeditions to experience the remarkable beauty of Alaska’s famed Inside Passage on this thrilling 8-day voyage, courtesy of National Geographic Expeditions.
National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 and Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret are definitely a must read for families everywhere. Hubby enjoyed connecting with our two youngest daughters over the Almanac 2019 and it’s currently Babygirl’s favorite night time reading. Hubby loves that the Almanac 2019 shares fun learning facts that satisfy the curiosity in all of us. His favorite part was in science and technology where the topic of “How to face failure” speaks on life lessons that we can all put to practice.
Our oldest and I could not put the book Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret once we started because of all the twists and turns that each page offered in adventure and mystery. Our oldest dubbed herself the 25th explorer recruit at the prestigious school and embarked enthusiastically on the thrilling journey to decode the Nebula Secret. National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 and Explorer Academy The Nebula Secret should be on everyone’s reading list because they definitely teach kids about the world and how it works, empowering them to succeed and to make it a better place.
