What to Read Wednesday: Science Books for Kids

August 23, 2017 by Anne Campbell 12 Comments

The Best Science Books for Kids

This blog uses affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

The world of science is so vast, that it is really difficult to narrow down a book list of science books for kids. This week, we are focusing on books about science topics in general. Come back next week for our list of scientist books, featuring titles about the people behind the discoveries. Do your kids enjoy science as much as mine do? I didn’t love the subject as a kid, but since I started homeschooling, I’ve grown to enjoy and appreciate it so much more.

If I missed any of your favorites, please share them with me so I can check them out. These are some of the titles I’ve pulled out again and again to read with my kids over the years.

Happy discovering!

      Field guides are wonderful resources. I have some vintage Golden Guides, and I love them.

    I’ve had that Lego book in my Amazon wishlist since last Christmas…I may have to order it this year as the kids (well, my husband, to be honest) just bought another batch of Lego.

    We have several of these on our bookshelves! I was never a science person, until I began homeschooling my kids. Thanks for sharing these recommendations with us!

      Me, too, Linda! I’ve discovered a new love for learning through homeschooling that I never had as a student in traditional schools growing up.
