Best Plant and Botany Books for Kids

The Best Botany Books will help you visualize and learn more about the plant kingdom.

There are so many great plant books for kids !

When choosing botany books you can learn a little about everything or focus on something more specific (for example trees).

Many botany books will cover the whole plant kingdom and include topics such as:

• Algae
• Lichens
• Moss
• Ferns
• Trees
• Fruiting plants
• Gardening
• Herbalism
• Wild Plants
• Flowers

I enjoy acquiring many botany books on botany because I really love the plant kingdom.
