Children are natural explorers. They are endlessly curious about the world around them — from the tiniest insect to the tallest tree. Books about nature help nurture this curiosity, teaching little readers to observe, respect, and love the planet we live on.

At ReadwithRev, we’ve gathered a selection of nature-themed stories that are not only fun to read but also inspire children to look closer at the world outdoors.

Here are some wonderful picks to start with:

  1. The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson — A playful story set in the woods, filled with animals and adventure.
  2. Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner — A beautifully illustrated book that takes children beneath the water’s surface to discover the magic of pond life.
  3. The Watcher by Jeanette Winter — The true story of Jane Goodall, perfect for inspiring kids who love animals and exploration.
  4. Tree: Seasons Come, Seasons Go by Patricia Hegarty — A peek-through picture book that follows a tree and its changes across the year.

These books are more than just stories — they’re invitations. Invitations to go outside, listen to birds, notice leaves, and ask questions about how things grow. They transform storytime into a launchpad for real-life adventures.
