5 Kids Books about the Outdoors that we love

You’ve probably already figured out that we are outdoors as much as we possibly can be, no matter the weather.  We also love reading about the outdoors!  We have the philosophy that there’s always more to learn and that especially applies to nature.  Here are a few of our favorite books that have been well loved over the years by my kids.  We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Do your kids love rocks as much as mine do?  This book is a favorite in our house.  After learning about hiding rocks, skipping, rocks, wishing rocks, and all of the other rocks, we love to find all of these rocks the next time we go on an adventure.  This is a beautifully written book that we love as a bedtime story.

This is a whole series of books that my kids love!  We currently have On the Nature Trail, Beach Walk and Bug Hunt, but there are more in the series we will probably have soon.  The books explore everything a kid might find on their nature journey with rich pictures and kid friendly language. And there’s even a little magnifying glass and a page of stickers!

This beautiful book teaches children how various cultures and indigenous people connect with nature to begin their days in a meaningful way.  It is a wonderful reminder of how we are all connected to the Earth and to each other, an important lesson for children (and adults too).

A favorite of my littlest guy, this book is short and sweet in teaching little ones the signs that summer is coming through the ways nature changes.  The bold pictures are inviting for little eyes and the simple writing is perfect for the younger children.

A timeless tale of make believe and story of all the possibilities in using the most basic items found in nature to create a most magical place.  My older son loves this book and loves to imagine his own special creations outside waiting for him.
