Here are just a few children’s books with characters named Nora. Please comment below if you know of one I missed. I hope this encourages your kiddo to read!

 

 

Nora’s Ark by Eileen Spinelli  Illustrator: Nora Hilb

Noah welcomed a host of animals two-by-two. Nora’s passenger list includes two backyard spiders, a pair of battery-operated monkeys, and a couple of unimpressed cats. Nora also employs her little brother, some dusty wooden boxes, and a sizeable dose of contagious imagination in her distinctive re-creation of the timeless story.

Noisy Nora by Rosemary Wells

It’s tough being the middle mouse. No one’s paying any attention to Nora, so she decides to do something her family can’t make noise. Nora slams windows, bangs doors, and upsets furniture, to no avail. It’s not until she crashes out the door–and the house goes strangely silent–that her family a noisy Nora is much better than no Nora at all.

  •  2-5 year olds

The Trouble with Ants by Claudia Mills  Illustrator: Katie Kath

Nora Alpers is using her new notebook to record the behavior of ants. Why? Because they are fascinating! Unfortunately, no one agrees with her. Her mom is not happy about them being in the house, and when Nora brings her ant farm to school for show and tell, her classmates are not very impressed. They are more interested in cat videos, basketball practice, or trying to set a Guinness World Record (although Nora wouldn’t mind that)

  • Ratings- Amazon: 3.4 Goodreads: 4.0
  • 7-10 year olds

 

There’s a Tiger in the Garden  written and illustrated by Lizzy Stewart

There’s nothing to do at Grandma’s house and Nora refuses to believe any outlandish tales of dragonflies as big as birds, grumpy polar bears who like to fish, or a magnificent tiger all allegedly residing in Grandma’s garden. Nora’s too old for silly games. But this charming picture book proves you are never too young or too old to dream–and adventure can find you when you least expect it.

  • Ratings- Amazon: 4.8 Goodreads: 4.0
  • 4-7 year olds

 

Roof Octopus by Lucy Branam  Illustrator: Rogerio Coelho

When Nora hears a soft “tap, tap, tap” at her bedroom window, she never expects it to be the tentacle of a very large octopus, but that’s exactly what it is – an octopus on her apartment building. The octopus turns out to be a very neighborly sort of octopus, helping the residents to wash their cars or weed the window boxes, and Nora makes fast friends with him. But one morning, the octopus is nowhere in sight. Has he moved on already? And just when Nora wanted to bring him for Show and Tell!

Nora the Arctic Fox Fairy (Rainbow Magic) by Daisy Meadows

The girls are spending a week of their summer vacation at the Wild Woods Nature Reserve. They’re going to volunteer as junior rangers– which means lots of quality time with all the animals who live there! But Jack Frost has taken the Baby Animal Rescue Fairies’ magic key chains. Even worse, he’s planning to use the fairies’ stolen magic to kidnap baby animals for his icy zoo. Rachel and Kirsty only have one more magic key chain left to find! They have to act fast to help Nora save baby fox cub, Dazzle.
