I love, love, loved reading this book with my children! We are so big into nature and having this book as we camp, explorer, or just hang out is great. Arborama is a book full of delightful information on North American trees, everything about...

What a Map Can Do covers all sorts of maps – what they do, how to use them, and how to read them! Maps of rooms, cities, bus routes, bodies, star mapping! All the maps! I loved the variety of maps covered. As a homeschool...

My kids were simultaneously grossed out and tickled while reading Farts and Other Big Bangs. From the Big Bang to mass extinction, to the discovery of America to the painting of the Mona Lisa, history is gassed up. This was such...

We loved this book! The Rocket Says Speak Up! was a fun and important read. Rocket's local library is closing and she wants everyone to SPEAK UP to save it. The author chose a topic that is relatable to many, and put real emotions...

For the Love of Lettuce became my child's new favorite book with the first reading! The illustrations are super fun and colorful. The compliment the story so well! My son wasn't thrilled with the evil looking chickens, as he has some hens...

The Best Flower Ever followings a sweet little Australian shepherd who is so proud of the flower he grew and how it is the most special in all the world. However, they start to doubt how great their flower is when they see what other plants others have. It was...

I picked this book up more for me that I did for my children. The title was zany enough to draw my attention and I'm glad it did. I loved the concept behind the story. Rosalia has an unusual collection, a collection of heads....

It's Time for Berries was a cute look on traditional Inuit practices of gathering berries and other land uses. My child really liked the different ways that the two sisters, Siasi and Siloah, spent time with their ninguiq (grandmother). He especially liked the berry picking, as that is something...

I love James Breakwell and I love You Can't be a Pterodactyl! The illustrations are gorgeous. They are so vibrant, and the illustrator did a wonderful job of conveying both emotion and movement. My favorites are probably the YouPTube page, as well as when Tommy...

This was a great introductory into basic geometry and how it plays an essential role in our lives. The content is perfect for second graders to read independently, and for as young as pre-k for a teacher/parent led lesson. The illustrations are...

I was delighted to share this book with my children. We love the outdoors and seeing all the mushrooms pop up after the rainy season! Fungi Grow is a great, age appropriate introductory read. The text is written in a child friendly manner, but...

This was such a wonderful interactive book that encourages children to get outside and embrace nature, literally. The text is simple, yet imaginative enough to hold young ones attention and get them moving. The illustrations are warm and inviting. I love how there was...

The Planet We Call Home is written in a lyrical way, that builds up on each line by describing that place we live. It's written similar to The Old Lady That Swallowed a Fly, making it a fun, but also cumbersome, read aloud book for children. ...

I loved, loved, loved Cool Green! Seen through the eyes of a Latino landscaper who loves trees and his granddaughter who is beginning to wonder, we are travel from mountain tops, into forests and onto islands, each one brimming with unique and extraordinary trees, each one telling its...

I am such a huge fan of Choose Your Own Path type books. I buy them for my children often, and they usually not only have an adventure, but they get to experience the cause and effect of their choice, before coming face to face with the same type of...
