Little Bookworms: September Book Recommendations

5 Sep 2022
Blog

Welcome to ‘Little Bookworms’ our online children’s book club! Join us each month to explore a variety of exciting and educational book themes. This month, the theme is science!

Children are born with an intrinsic motivation to explore, question, experiment and discover. The early development of the scientific mind can be seen in a child’s fascination in a disappearing puddle, as they measure a growing flower, or experiment with mixing paint. Our educational programme, Innovate & investigate looks at STEM activities and empowers children to think for themselves; enabling them to become independent, resilient and curious for life. Learn more here.

Spark scientific curiosity this September and take some time to read with your little one.

Read on to view our science themed book recommendations suitable for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
