Nonfiction Books for Kids

I love adding nonfiction books to our preschool themes and lessons. You can use them to show real images of things kids won’t likely see in real life – ocean animals, planets, etc.

They’re a great way to build your child’s vocabulary and pique their interest in all sorts of things.
