Hello everyone?
Does anyone have any educative book suggestions for kids between 3 to 5? Thanks

The Tindims series!! Chapter books with loads of pictures and short chapters. Ensemble cast. Hardly any peril. Really nice environmental message.

What the lady bird heard and saw series. These have fantastic stories which rhyme and build on your child’s knowledge through learning about animals, seasons, places, etc.
You do need to spend time with your child asking them lots of questions of what they can see.

My 3.5 years old loves these books (although I think any book at this age is educative, since it develops vocabulary and imagination):

Usborne books:
Peep inside series - especially Deep Ocean
One Little Frog -
The World of Bees

The Ultimate Book of the Cities - some concepts are too complex for her (like manufacturing or graphs showing process of water distribution) but she still loves the book and we've been going through it every evening for a month now (ugh...) here is a showing inside of the book

Mon Petit... series
These books are in French but we ignore the text and she just plays the music (each book features 5-6 short fragments). She loves them. We have following:

Beethoven | | | |

Bustletown series e.g. Autumn - no text just pictures, the idea is to follow same character as they travel though the city to run errands, meet with family etc. Really amazing for vocabulary development as it requires active participation from the child.
