National Geographic Kids has published since 1975. The bundle pairs a year of the magazine — ten photography-led issues, ages 6 to 14 — with six Nat Geo Kids books. Each issue runs real wildlife, science, geography, and current events, plus the pull-out posters, maps, and trading cards the magazine has always put in. It's paper, and it shows up on its own schedule.
Note: The price represents the cost for an annual subscription for 10 magazine issues and 6 books. Bundle subscriptions automatically renew into a magazine-only subscription at $49/yr.
