Sylvan Dell is a young company on a serious mission to create picture books that excite children’s imaginations, are artistically spectacular, and have educational value.

All of our books start with fun, warm stories, generally fiction with math, science, or nature themes and are brought to life by art. We then add a 3-5 page “For Creative Minds” section that includes fun facts, crafts, vocabulary and games to reinforce the educational value and to support National Science and Math Standards. Finally, each book is carefully vetted for scientific accuracy by experts in the field including scientists and educators from NASA, NOAA, SeaWorld, Houston Zoo and various nature centers and aviaries.

These are not textbooks in the traditional sense but rather fun picture books that a child will want to read over and over again. Our science and math learning objectives are there for the taking but the child’s reading pleasure is primary. We think having a child excited about a book and its subject enhances the opportunity for parents and teachers to build on that interest and to strike while the learning iron is hot.

How to Order:

Individuals can purchase Sylvan Dell books, eBooks and stuffed animals through our Online Store, their favorite neighborhood Bookstore or Gift Shop, or online bookstores.
