DESC: National Geographic Kids, formerly National Geographic World, is more than a magazine: each subscription includes a National Geographic Junior Membership! Youngsters 8 to 14 will be excited to receive their own journal, a colorful magazine created especially for curious kids. Novelty and hands-on learning make a winning combination that has captivated readers for more than 20 years. National Geographic Kids' features encourage readers to protect the planet's resources and learn more about geography, adventure, wildlife, science, and youngsters of special distinction from around the world. Other Junior Member benefits include posters, trading cards, and activity booklets throughout the year in; a membership card and certificate; an iron-on T-shirt transfer of the junior membership emblem; and an opportunity to join National Geographic Kids' GeoMail Pen Pal Network!
