  8. I can not say enough good things about Nat Geo books. When my great great nephew (3) visited from TN I asked him what he wanted me to mail him for his birthday. He told me books on dinosaurs. And the first books I sent were Nat Geo books on dinosaurs. He could not read them but he could look at the pictures and then ask mommy to read it to him.
