5 Picture Books for British Science Week

British Science Week is coming to an end, so here are five picture books to keep scientific discussions going at home.


Engibear's Dream is a fun STEM book about engineering and the importance of redesigning, never giving up, and learning from your mistakes.

The Astronomically Correct Twinkle Twinkle is a picture book version of this song which rewords the classic nursery rhyme so that it's scientifically correct. 

Once Upon a Star uses gentle rhyming verse and beautiful artwork to explore the Big Bang and the formation of life on Earth. 

The Darkest Dark is the story of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's early love of space and experience of the first Moon landing. 

Questions and Answers about Animals is a lift-the-flap book full of interesting questions about animals. We learn something new every time we open it. 

I would have loved to include Look Up on this list too, but I didn't have a copy to hand to photograph  with the group (it's one we borrowed from the library) so it is my bonus sixth choice - a must-read for young, aspiring astronauts!
