TESTIMONIALS

“Nat Geo Kids is the perfect magazine for young explorers, helping kids engage with our planet and look after it, too!”

Ben Fogle; adventurer, broadcaster and writer

"National Geographic Kids is interesting, engaging, and easy to read, without being patronising. Fantastic photography, engaging activities, much-appreciated film and book reviews and environmentally-friendly, optional free gifts. Plus, it’s a great read for adults, too!"

Ruth; mum to Rosie, aged 10

“National Geographic Kids is the perfect magazine for my inquisitive Year 4s. With a myriad of articles, ranging from Weird Facts and Wacky World to science and nature and Cool News, my class are never short of interesting, thought-provoking material to share with their friends. And of course, it includes the obligatory cute animal posters, too!”

Steve Wright; Year 4 Teacher and LKS2 Lead
