Explaining things like global warming and the environment to kids can be a little complicated. It’s easy to read from the textbook, but sometimes these concepts are too complex to describe in words. This is why I love books so much! They provide great pictures and stories to help make these complicated topics a little more manageable! If you’re celebrating Earth Day or just looking to make environmental science more fun in the classroom, these books will surely help! Plus, these make learning about the environment a little easier. Here are 20 children’s books about the environment that your kids will enjoy reading and listening to.
