Children's books and activities

Nature: Our Green World

Do you know any outdoorsy kids who are happiest dipping their toes in a freshwater pond, searching for animal tracks, listening for birds, or hiking to a waterfall? We've gathered up a great collection of books, activities, apps, and websites for learning all about nature.

Try pairing fiction with nonfiction books and exploring different genres (like poetry and biographies) and formats (like graphic novels and audio books). You'll be creating your own "text sets" — collections of texts focused on a specific topic, such as nature and the environment. Reading widely in this way helps children build background knowledge, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.
