For young preschoolers, you’ll typically want to share only as much information as your child is interested in.

(Recommended for ages 4-6.)Īnts: Amazing Pictures & Fun Facts on Animals in Nature (Our Amazing World) by Kay de Silva is a Montessori-friendly book with many facts and beautiful photographs of ants. Zoey listened to and enjoyed it all the way through at age 2¾. Because of the photographs, it’s interesting enough that young preschoolers can enjoy it. I also love this National Geographic Kids book on Antsby Melissa Stewart. It’s a Montessori-friendly book with beautiful photographs and fascinating facts. The book is recommended for ages 6-10 because it’s designed for readers, but it’s a nice book to read aloud to younger children. Like the other TIME for Kids Science Scoops books, Ants! They are hard workers!is a Montessori-friendly book with fabulous photographs. I love the TIME for Kids Science Scoops books. I like Amazon’s “Look Inside the Book” feature as a way of getting a good idea of the book’s writing and photographs or illustrations before buying.ĭisclosure: This post contains affiliate links (at no cost to you).

Zoey loved many of these books, but some of them are especially for older children. My 2¾-year-old granddaughter, Zoey, and I have been studying ants. Great children’s books can bring a topic to life and give children a new appreciation for a subject. It can be challenging to find the best books for a theme or unit study.
