Reading augments a child's natural curiosity about the world around them, and inspires creativity by using their imagination. Books show children that the world is a unique and wonderful place full of endless possibilities. This is true both when reading to your child and when they learn to read themselves!


The more you read to your child, the more you helps your child absorb and interpret the world around them. A child’s reading skills helps ensure success in school and everyday life. From a very young age children have the ability to interpret and process many different pieces of information, so it's important to expose them to all different topics and genres!


Here are some books we offer that combine a love of science with a love of reading:
