Listen, I bought 13 Fall books for young kids, and only 4 made the list.
For some reason, in the book world, Fall is often inseparable from Halloween and Thanksgiving.
But if you're like me, and you want to take a minute to just enjoy Fall with your preschooler, this list is for you!
(I also found some great Thanksgiving-themed books that I'll put on a separate list next month!)
Here are four charming, fall-themed books that are perfect for your preschoolers.
These stories are not only engaging but also provide wonderful opportunities to talk about feelings, nature, and friendship with your little ones. And, as a busy homeschool mom, you’ll love how easy it is to incorporate these books into your daily reading routine!
1. The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming
When a squirrel discovers that leaves are disappearing from his tree, he sets off on a comical adventure to solve the mystery of the missing leaves. This whimsical story is perfect for sparking discussions about change and nature's cycles.
Snag this hilarious book here!
2. Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson
Join Fletcher, a curious little fox, as he becomes worried about his favorite tree losing its leaves. But as the seasons change, Fletcher learns that letting go can be beautiful, too. A heartwarming tale about the wonders of autumn.
You can find the book here, on Amazon
Note: Pair "The Leaf Thief" and "Fletcher and the Falling Leaves" together for a fun, thematic reading session! Both books feature characters worried about falling leaves, but they respond in completely different ways. This can open up many wonderful conversations with your child about handling scary or unfamiliar situations with creativity and curiosity.
3. The Scarecrow by Beth Ferry
In a pumpkin patch, an unlikely friendship blossoms between a lonely scarecrow and a baby crow. This tender story of kindness and acceptance will warm your heart and remind your little one of the importance of compassion.
4. Peter Rabbit and the Pumpkin Patch by Beatrix Potter
In addition to being a classic, this little book is also economical if you're looking for a budget friendly way to add themed books to your library (currently $3.99).
Peter Rabbit finds himself in a pickle when he decides to explore Mr. McGregor's pumpkin patch. This delightful tale is full of adventure and the fun of discovery, perfect for getting into the spirit of fall.
These books are sure to delight your preschoolers and provide the perfect excuse for some cozy reading time together. Happy fall reading! 🍁
