Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn by Kenard Pack

When my son was 3 he began noticing the changes from summer to fall, most notably all of the leaves falling and asked “why are all of the trees dying?” This was a great book to compliment his observations as mother nature prepares for winter. The illustrations in this book are truly fantastic!

The Fall of Freddie the Leaf By Leo Buscaglia

This is one for the home book shelf! The Fall of Freddie the Leaf is a story about the circle of life & it’s (seasonal) changes in a heartfelt & thought provoking way. It is a beautiful (non-religious) way to open up the topic of helping children work through loss.

Roger Priddy is one of my all time favorite authors! His board books are amazing and the baby touch and feel series was my sons favorite to date! He still enjoys interacting with these books sometimes (& he’s 5 years old now).

Fall Mixed Up By: Bob Raczka

Hands down the funniest fall book for kids! This book is a fun interactive book where kids discover what is “all mixed up” in the words & pictures. A super fun way to build vocabulary & reading comprehension.

Bad Apple; A Tale of Friendship

Edward Hemingway’s Bad Apple is a tale of an unlikely friendship & how the world (of apples) responds to it. The apple befriends a worm & is called names like “rotten” or “bad apple” for doing so. This is a simple story that helps teach kids about tolerance, bullying & accepting your friends for who they are (no matter what others may say or do).

Apple Farmer Annie By: Monica Wellington

Annie is a VERY busy apple farmer. This book walks you through the daily life of an apple farmer it offers intricate detail in the illustrations for example you can count the number of apples it even includes some recipes in the back that you can make together. This book is best for preschool ages 2-4 or anyone with an apple tree in their yard.

Tree By: Britta Teckentrup

This is a great peek-through book about the seasons suitable for toddlers through preschool.

Hello World, Weather By: Jill Macdonald

An excellent series for our youngest of readers. This book helps readers think about the changes in the seasons and how people react to those changes (what we wear, etc.). Very cute book & I love Jill Macdonald’s Hello World series (this one is less factual about weather if you own any of her other books they are great factual introductions to the concepts!) Still a fun read though!

Curdory’s seasons

Everyone’s favorite bear talks about the seasons!

Pumpkin Soup

A childhood right of passage is what this book is as far as I am concerned. It speaks to several important life long lessons including friendship, cooperation, what happens when friends disagree and how to reconcile relationships.
