Geography Topic Books for Children

Pack your suitcase and get ready to hop on board with our handpicked selection of recommended children’s books about geography.  Whether you need books for a mountains topic and texts about rivers or you’re planning an imaginary class trip and need children’s books about Africa or stories about the USA, our booklists are here to help to bring your adventures alive with the best books for primary geography topics.

Here you will find a carefully curated selection of books that explore the wonders of the world around us, from the natural environment to human geography and global cultures. Whether you are a parent, teacher, or librarian, these booklists provide a wealth of options for engaging young readers with all things geographical. Our lists of recommended geography topic books for primary schools contain specially selected books to support the teaching of the curriculum at KS2, KS1 and EYFS. When we choose texts for our lists, we select only the best quality classroom books based on age suitability, quality of text, visual appeal, readability, level of interest for children, underlying values, curriculum relevance and print production quality.

Our review panel of teachers and education experts test the geography books and provide information about which books are best for engaging children and supporting the curriculum effectively, as well as writing detailed reviews for some of the books that we feature. In addition to our Review Panel feedback, we work with a team of booksellers to make sure that the books on our lists are readily available from publishers in order to supply them to schools and classrooms. Schools can buy full packs of most of our topic booklists directly from Peters.

So, whether it’s an expedition to Frozen Worlds, a whistle-stop tour of the UK countries or an overview of houses and homes, our primary topic booklists will help you to find the best geography books for children.
