From Eric Carle’s The Tiny Seed to Lucy Cousins’ Maisy Grows a Garden, the Book Doctor recommends books to inspire younger children to look more closely at the natural world around them
We live in a city but have a garden and I’d like to encourage my children to look more closely at nature. Can you recommmend books that might help them take an interest and find out more?
At this time of year it is easy to engage children in looking at the world around them. Whether you are in a city or the country it is so obvious that everything is changing. The trees are getting greener, birds are singing and carrying twigs for nest-building and, in the countryside at least, every patch of water is full of frog and toad spawn. The first step is to get your children to start looking for themselves and encouraging them to notice the changes and to record what they are seeing. With everyday getting longer and warmer, nothing stays the same for long!
