dragons in the flower bed Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm planning a biology year for my youngest son next year. What books are so great that we shouldn't miss reading them together? (My older boys hate life science and were really into physical science so I never studied this with a little one.)

2_girls_mommy Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Magic School house inside the human body. Also look for Let's Read and Find Out books. I don't remember the specific titles, but they are great. I am sure there are some life science ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 We're doing biology in the fall with a 1st grader. Here are the books I will be using: A Seed is Quiet ~ Dianna Hutts Aston A Butterfly is Patient ~ Aston An Egg is Sleepy ~ Aston *these 3 are beautiful, saw them in a recent picture book thread and ordered Usborne Complete First Book of Nature Usborne (Library of Science) World of Plants Dig & Sow: How do plants Grow (Janice Lobb) DK First Nature Encyclopedia DK First Animal Encyclopedia DK First Human Body Encyclopedia Usborne See Inside Your Body (lift the flap) Wow, I have more than I thought, LOL....but we LOVE life science here! I figure these will cover our "research" and then *if we want* we can supplement with living books/storybooks from the library ... and if not, we still have plenty to pull from.
