Britta Teckentrup’s First Nature Series is a beautifully illustrated non-fiction collection for young readers aged 3+. Each book explores a theme from the natural world—such as trees, bees, the sea, or the moon—through gentle rhyme and striking artwork. The language is calm and lyrical, ideal for reading aloud, and the textured collage illustrations support early understanding of seasonal and environmental topics.
This series works well both at home and in early years or Key Stage 1 classrooms, introducing children to the wonders of nature while also encouraging observation and curiosity.
