Reading natural history books to children is a great way to stir their interest in nature, wildlife and the earth itself. Books can help you introduce to your child—new species, places, words and various geographic & historic concepts; all whilst spending time together as a family. From picture books about bats or microscopic species, to guides about animal noises and climate change by celebrated environmentalists—there's a wide range of amazing new natural history book titles being published for children.

Books2Door know animals are synonymous with children's literature. From loyal friends to family pets, endearing animal characters are all too common in children’s books. The two go hand in paw, if you know what we mean! Precisely why, we think, books with animals are a great way to introduce children to nature and wildlife. With natural history books you can give your child a fun new way to learn, without making it part of their curriculum.

As part of our (rather extensive) natural history books collection; we have Pop-Up Peekaboo Baby Animals. A hide-and-seek adventure in the midst of the rainforest, this book for preschoolers will take your child on a peekaboo expedition in the midst of all the wild and lush. There's a cheeky monkey hanging by the branches, a little elephant splashing in the lake and a sleepy sloth in the vines, just lift the flaps for a pop-up surprise. Perfect for when you want to introduce your child to the wild using lively rhymes and visuals; this is just the book you need to make your kid’s story time fun. Thanks to the moving pop-ups and interactive creatives of the book; it will help your child with their motor control skills and cognitive development. Whilst also introducing them to new species of animals and more. 

Yet another book for little children, the Little First Stickers Seashore is packed to the brim with nature and animals. A sticker book with over 200 stickers of animals, plants and sea creatures like fish, turtles, crabs and more; the book will help you introduce the entire seashore to your child. 

However animals are not all there is to the wild; trees and plants make an equally important part of nature and here is just the book you need to get your child acquainted with them. Botanicum Activity Book by Katie Scott is a companion activity book to the incredible original Botanicum which was a natural history museum book and a stunningly curated guide to plant life. With artwork from Katie Scott, Botanicum gives its readers the experience of a fascinating exhibition through the pages of this beautiful book. Bursting with fascinating facts, puzzles and activities , this book offers hours of entertainment to young artists and nature lovers. The myriad activities in this book will engage the young readers into learning something new and use their imagination to draw, decorate and design on every pull-out page.

A pure celebration of natural writing and loaded with creative learning activities; these are some of the best natural history books. They not only make great reading material for your child but are also great for when you want to acquaint your kid to the world of natural history and help them develop cognitive skills.
