Children’s books are a great way of exploring the changing seasons with kids.
Kids will love to read fall-themed books featuring apples, pumpkins, colorful leaves, and Halloween-themed books.
Here is a list of fall books to read aloud the fall season.
Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert
This book is the beautiful real images and die-cuts of leaves just make them pop right off the pages. The autumn leaves make different shapes, such as a turkey, pumpkins, cows, and fish, before reforming into the leaf man at the end of the book.
Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson
Fletcher the Fox thinks something is wrong as the leaves begin to fall from his favorite tree. He tries to keep the leaves from falling, but they won’t stop. He can’t even save the very last leaf, so Fletcher makes a cozy bed for it and tucks it in. The next day, Fletcher approaches his favorite tree, he finds it transformed, covered in magical, glimmering, icicles.
Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson
This book starts with a bare tree and the kids have to follow the instruction given on each page. Kids need to tap it, shake it, jiggle it, or even blow it. The leaves grow, flowers blossom, and apples grow and eventually go away as the seasons change.
I See Fall by Charles Ghinga
This book is the perfect introduction for young children to the cycles of year.
We see leaves drop from a tree and many fall activities. There are fall words such as trees, leaves, apples, pumpkin, scarecrow, and more.
I Am a Leaf by Jean Marzollo
This is the great book for kids to explain what a leaf is and why they change color abd how they help the tree or plants to grow. The kids can see the different creatures that live in trees. They learn about how the trees change with seasons.
A Very Big Fall by Emmy Kastner
Three adorable autumn leaves have their own way of facing the new crispness in the air. They surprised by their turning colors and the promise of the fall to come. This is a great book for fall weather and accepting change.
Tree by Britta Teckentrup
This book shows a tree and its many inhabitants throughout the four seasons. Each page appear a new set of animals playing and living in the tree – baby bears frolicking in the spring, bees buzzing around apples in the summer, squirrels storing nuts in the fall, and the lone owl keeping warm during the winter.
Apples and Pumpkins by Anne Rockwell
This book is about a girl and her family and their trip to the farm. The girl goes out to a farm to pick apples and a pumpkin, and then helps to carve the pumpkin into a happy jack-o’-lantern. It’s great book for making connections if kids have been to the farm in the fall.
Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert
This autumn book has a glossary explaining how roots absorb nutrients, photosynthesis, sap circulates, and other fun facts about trees. Kids will feel inspired to take a closer look at the nature in their own backyards.
