8 Children’s Books We’re Loving for Fall

Happy Monday, friends! Can you believe we are only two days away from the start of fall? One change I am anticipating is the slower pace that fall brings with it. Time to reflect, read, and rest are on my list of things to do.

As far as new reads for Lenny, we were so excited about the new season that we simply could not wait until the 22nd to read books about autumn. We dove right in on September 1st and have found dozens of engaging, lovely reads since then. Here are a few of our favorites.

Great Reads Ahead

Wonderfall follows a single tree through the changing of the seasons. People, animals, and vehicles pass in front of the tree, celebrating holidays, playing in its leaves, and getting ready for winter. Fifteen combined words (thankful + fall = thankFALL, plentiful + fall = plentiFALL) underscore the themes and concepts of the season, while the main attraction—the beautiful tree—drops acorns, loses leaves, and provides food and a home for a pair of scurrying squirrels. – Amazon

The award-winning team behind “When Spring Comes” explores the sounds, sights, smells, and textures of a new season–fall–in this gorgeously illustrated board book. – Target

Caldecott Medalist and New York Times-bestselling author Kevin Henkes’s memorable text introduces basic concepts of language and the unique beauty of the fall season. Laura Dronzek’s expressive paintings illuminate pumpkins, apples, falling leaves, busy squirrels, and the transformation from colorful autumn to frosty winter. – Target

Amara is hosting a potluck for friends on her farm, and her snacks won’t be complete without pumpkins. She’s searched and searched, but she’s grown so many plants that she needs help finding them. What do we know about pumpkins? They’re large, round, and orange―and, wait a minute, is that a pumpkin? No, that’s an apple. Where, oh, where could those pumpkins be? – Amazon

As trees sway in the cool breeze, blue jays head south, and leaves change their colors, everyone knows–autumn is on its way!

Join a young girl as she takes a walk through forest and town, greeting all the signs of the coming season. In a series of conversations with every flower and creature and gust of wind, she says good-bye to summer and welcomes autumn. – Amazon

On the verge of winter, the autumn wind issues an invitation: “Come one, come all to the annual windfall ball!” Join all the animals in this beautifully illustrated rhyming picture book as they gather for the autumn wind’s harvest in preparation for the long winter. – Amazon

An apple pie is easy to make…if the market is open. But if the market is closed, the world becomes your grocery store. This picture book takes readers around the globe to gather ingredients for a delicious apple pie. First, hop a steamboat to Italy for the finest semolina wheat. Then hitch a ride to England and hijack a cow for the freshest possible milk. And, oh yes! Don’t forget to go apple picking in Vermont! A simple recipe for apple pie is included. – Amazon

Because of an acorn, a tree grows, a bird nests, a seed becomes a flower. Enchanting die-cuts illustrate the vital connections between the layers of an ecosystem in this magical book. Wander down the forest path to learn how every tree, flower, plant, and animal connect to one another in spiraling circles of life. An acorn is just the beginning. – Amazon

I hope that you enjoy these beautiful reads as much as we have. If you decide to check them out, please let me know. If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment below. We’re always looking for new books!

Thanks for reading,

Brittany
