Our favourite series on animals is Nature Storybooks

Our favourite series on animals is Nature Storybooks.
Each one of these picture books is the life story or an homage to a different animal and each has a distinct character of its own.
These books succeed in a way so few others do because they read like well-written fiction, combined with the most beautiful illustrations. And indeed the authors include such well-known names as Nicola Davies and Dick King-Smith.
The stories flow through the book, and are accompanied by extra information on the animal. As an bonus you can buy some of these books with a CD giving you audio book and picture book in one.
The choice of animals is well balanced, from the well-known – horses and tigers – to the more unusual seahorse and eel. The more unusual ones are particularly captivating because of their novelty. This is one of those series that just keeps us coming back for more.
