Books for Fall

We love children’s books and the plethora of phenomenal ones with a fall theme!

Here are some library finds we’ve been enjoying lately:

Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert:

Miss Leyba relates to the idea of picking up plants from the garden center, then planting, caring for and growing to love them. She’s memorized this one already.

And Then Comes Halloween by Tom Brenner, illustrated by Holly Meade:

A showcase of fun fall activities, such as carving pumpkins, raking leaves, decorate yards, and making costumes, gearing up for Halloween.

Hello, Harvest Moon by Ralph Fletcher, illustrated by Kate Kiesler:

Beautiful imagery and verse, nevertheless I’d personally recommend this book for older children; our toddler has little patience for it unless she’s really in a reading mood. We’ll try again next year!

In November by Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Jill Kastner:

Beautiful pictures, sound science, and the girls especially enjoy it. David thinks it’s a boring story, but don’t tell Miss Leyba!

Frog and Toad All Year by Arnold Lobel:

A story for all seasons! My favorite Frog and Toad book, it’s quirky, fun and a very, very sweet collection of stories about best friends!
