National Geographic Kids - 1,000 Facts About the Bible Book (with #giveaway)!

Disclosure: I received a sample product to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

National Geographic is well known for printing high quality material, both in content and in photos. Their 1,000 Facts About the Bible book (for kids) is no exception. This is an over-sized hardcover book (age recommendation 8+) with an emphasis on Biblical figures, history, archaeological discoveries and life in Biblical times.

My son enjoyed seeing pictures from stories he's learned here and there, and we both enjoyed learning some of the new-to-us facts. Everything is written in really simple terms and phrases, which keeps the information fresh and not boring, that latter of which fact books for kids can sometimes do.

Features such as 25 Villainous Facts and Dastardly Deeds, 15 Inspirational Facts About Biblical Art, 25 Telling Facts About the Prophets, and 15 Bounding Biblical Baby Facts add to the learning and reading fun. The words are also written in appealing fonts and highlighted with colorful blocks to separate thoughts. The fast facts make it easy to play trivia if you want (and in our house we're always wanting to play trivia). :)

Right now my son is learning about book structures in his First-Grade classroom so he was particularly excited to see the huge glossary in the back ('glossary' is one of the latest and greatest terms he's learned at school). He was telling me all about how to use one, and how useful they were to help you find things when you didn't want to read a whole book at once. His enthusiasm was contagious (because well, who gets excited about a glossary?!? Gotta love the kiddos. :) ).

In addition to the extensive glossary, additional resources are also offered in this book that are both in print and online.

This is a great coffee table book to have in the house, and if you celebrate the religious meaning behind Easter, it would make a great holiday gift idea too.

You can purchase this book at national retailers or at the National Geographic store online. One lucky winner is going to get a copy of their own. US entrants only. Fast giveaway! Ends 3/26/15.
