We do enjoy quite the variety of books and sometimes, they're more meaningful than they seem by the cover or the title. I find that diffrent depths of books encourages learning and exploration. Questioning the unknown...and broadening horizons, if that makes sense.

So, it can get tiring to read age-appropriate books to a preschooler. Don't get me wrong, we love to read all sorts of books but sometimes it's nice to read a good chapter book too. So one of our favorite chapter books to read is the Explorer Academy series. We have read 5 in the series already and it's amazing how much my preschooler follows along. I cannot believe we are already at the end of the series, the final installment, the 7th book! It was actually quite funny because when I brought this up to my preschooler, he immmediately, like me...went, but we haven't read the 6th book yet! So, to my delight and from our friends at Nat Geo Kids, we are so happy to introduce one of our favorite series that is now on the heart-pounding finale!
