At age 4, books about plants and trees can start to introduce different types of plants and the basic things they need to grow. Following simple stories and nonfiction facts can help children recognize similarities and differences between types of plants and trees, all while practicing observation skills.
This category may include books about flowers, trees, seeds, gardens, forests and the changing seasons. Some titles focus on facts while others tell stories set in natural environments.
Four-year-olds can learn how plants grow, what they need to survive and the different roles trees and flowers play in the environment. Many books also introduce simple life cycle concepts.
Look for books with engaging visuals, clear explanations and topics that connect to a child's everyday experiences. Titles that feature plants children can easily observe often work especially well.
