Animals - Kids

From animal books for babies to educational animal books for older kids, you're never too young or too old to read about animals. Read board books to babies and toddlers about animals to teach them the names, sounds, shapes and feeling, like in Touch and Feel books. Around ages 6 to 8, kids can start to read more in-depth about animals in books like the National Geographic Kids series, the Step Into Reading series, or in a variety of other kids books about animals. By this age, your child likely has a favorite animal that they can read about whether it's dogs, cats, dinosaurs, sharks, birds, turtles, butterflies and more — there is a book about every animal! Older kids around ages 9 to 12 can read chapter books featuring animals, encyclopedias giving details about specific animals, and fun fact books that keep them interested in reading.
