It’s that time of the year where we say goodbye to the old and embrace the new. Amidst the music, food and celebrations shared with your loved ones during this festive season, many of us also try our best to take the time to pen down resolutions for the coming year. Making time for books has always been something at the top of our list, and this year, we hope to share our love for reading with everyone.

Books on Nature and the Outdoors

 

Immerse yourself in the world of nature and its infinite beauty with books from the Gardens Shop. Titles include “Plants and Flowers of Singapore” and “Trees of Our Garden City”. With their colourful pictures and rich information, these books are set to keep you busy for hours.

Books for Adults

 

For our adult readers, we also carry titles such as “My Father in His Suitcase”, which tells the story of one of the most colourful and productive biologists of the 20^th century, John (Kay) Corner, and how a suitcase filled with his childhood memorabilia led him to search for his estranged father. Also keep a look out for “Natural History Drawings”, which contains wonderful illustrations of natural history in the Malay Peninsula. These are some of the many books from our wide array of reading materials available for you to enjoy.

Books for Children

 

The little ones will not feel left out with the wide array of exciting and colourful children’s books at the Gardens Shop. Pick up “Dinosaur Interactive” and see the world of dinosaurs being brought to life through 32 pages of stunning animations, thought provoking games, educational read-alongs and much more. Also check out “The Little Singapore Book”, which introduces young readers aged five to ten to our Singapore story through a vibrant narrative and vivid illustrations. These are perfect for little avid bookworms, or for parents trying to instil a love for reading in their children.
