Why early learning services choose this set

Narrative nonfiction that reads like a story is hard to find for this age group, and harder still in books that survive a busy book corner. These are the Walker Books Nature Storybooks, real science woven into stories children ask for again. A read-aloud opens into conversation about habitats, life cycles and caring for the natural world, which gives educators natural observations to record.

Aligned to EYLF Outcome 2: children are connected with and contribute to their world. For children aged 4 to 7.
