An early learning book list resource on nature.

While at the library, I found a set of books on the theme of nature in the Early Learning Readers section. This means that these books are age appropriate for preschool age children. Their cover pictures caught my eye and have great titles. One of the favorite things that I like about this particular bundle is because it is multicultural with names and content. Since I did a quick scan of them, their summaries from my local library are included for your information.



Firsts & Lasts: The Changing Seasons Written by Leda Schubert, Illustrated by Clover Robin

Amazon.com


Summary

The joy of the changing seasons means saying hello to new but familiar rituals, like spring picnics in the park or homemade lemonade in summer. But there's also the bittersweet feeling of doing something for the last time, like mowing the lawn one final time on a brown day in autumn or watching the last of the geese fly south.



Miguel's Community Garden Written by JaNay Brown-Wood, Illustrated by Samara Hardy

Amazon.com

Summary

Miguel has many plants in his community garden, and today he must find his sunflowers. Let's help Miguel look for them!



Who's Looking? How Animals See the World Written by Carol Matas, Illustrated by Cornelia Li

Amazon.com


Summary

In this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book, a young girl and her baby sister explore the land around them while various animals and insects look on. The art reflects the world as viewed by the animals along with the text explaining some science behind the animal's unique vision.



Life Written by Cynthia Rylant, Illustrated by Brendan Wenzel


Amazon.com

Summary

Life is beautiful, ever changing, sometimes not easy, but always worth waking up in the morning to see what might happen.



On a Magical Do-Nothing Day Written & Illustrated by Beatrice Alemagna

Amazon.com


Summary

Sent outside by their mother on a rainy day, a child is dismayed when their handheld game falls into the pond before they encounter giant snails, wet mushrooms, and other elements that awaken them to the sensory aspects of nature.



Not only are these books appropriate for the season, but also for the upcoming holiday of Halloween. They are all relative with most of them featuring an autumn setting. The book summaries are curated from the local library catalog by South Hill Pierce County Library System. If you have children who are not in the preschool age and are younger, it is never too late to start advancing their literary skills. Even if the child does not understand every word, it is great exposure to help increase their speech and language skills as well as word recognition in other areas concentrating in the English subject preparing for school. If the child is older, it's always fun to read all sorts of books for several reasons. You can help exercise their imagination by increasing the variety of books available to read. Best of luck to you on your book journey.




Happy Reading!
