Abstract :This article aims to present a holistic framework for the story-based use of the 5E model, which supports inquiry-based education in preschool. Although children’s picture books are the first type of book that children encounter in their lives, they are widely used by teachers in the classroom and by parents at home to support early literacy education in later ages. Informative picture books, a sub-genre of children’s picture books, for which the content is prepared considering the developmental characteristics of children, make important contributions to children’s correct recognition and learning of science concepts, scientific vocabulary, and most importantly, their sense of curiosity. In this context, this research reveals the importance of using science-themed illustrated children’s books, formulated on the story-based 5E model, and provides a sustainable framework to preschool teachers for using science-themed informational children’s picture books.
