I received the below mentioned titles in exchange for this post. Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment.
Reading is great for the brain at any age, but I love how well the Booper can retain more of what he reads. Getting his hands on books that teach him about science and mechanics is really important to me, so I love National Geographic Kids. He is so interested in learning how everything works, and honestly I don't always know the answer to his questions. Having a book to that answers his questions is great, but the pictures inside National Geographic Kids books actually show him things he might not get to see otherwise. Read below about four great titles that are perfect for gift giving and enter for a chance to win them!

Discover the secrets and science behind bounce houses, hovercraft, robotics and everything in between in this book that provides both the quick answers AND complete explanations for all things high tech, low tech and no tech (how DOES glue work???). Detailed diagrams, revealing photos, hands-on activities and and fascinating facts all help to demystify many common items -- like how a microwave works, how an eraser makes pencil marks disappear and how an iPad or tablet can do so much -- and also delves into the more futuristic -- but very real -- inventions like bionics, invisible cloaks and tractor beams. "Tales from the Lab" and profiles of talented engineers, inventors and scientists provide plenty of inspiration.
