The weather here in Kentucky has finally changed! We have the cool crisp mornings. The sunny afternoons! It is perfect!
To celebrate,here is a list of my favorite Autumn themed children's books!
By Lucille Colandro
Great for 3 to 7 years old
This book is irresistible to Preschoolers. It has repetitive text that is easy to sing along with. This book tickles the funnybone!
One of the repetitive phrases is " I don't know why she swallowed the leaves, perhaps she'll sneeze." The children loved to pretend sneeze every time I read that line!
by Linda Williams
Great for 4 to 7 years Old
This is an excellent read aloud book! It offers plenty of opportunity for the students to participate along with the story. A series of items such as a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves follow the little old lady home. When I read this book to the children, I suggested movements for each item that followed the old lady.
A great book with a bit of suspense and spookiness, but without being really scary!
by Anne Rockwell
Great for 2 to 5 year olds
A great choice for the younger ones! This one will get your child talking about their trip to the pumpkin patch!
by Jonathan Emmett
Great for Older 3s through Kindergarten
The illustrations in this book are beautiful! Very playful and colorful! The main character is adorable and you can't help but like him. His little misunderstanding about leaves is just adorable!
by Margery Cuyler
Great for 3 to 7 year olds
This is one of my favorite Halloween books of all time. The book offers a great message of friendship and acceptance!

1.5 to 5 year olds
A book rendition of the classic fingerplay "Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on the Fence." The little ones enjoy pointing out the pumpkins, the ghost, and the cat. Older children enjoyed this book because many of them are already familiar with the fingerplay.
Alison Jackson
Great for 3 years to 7 years
Another wonderful book with repetitive text! The children love to giggle at the absurdity that someone could eat so much for dinner! The ending is hilarious! A Thanksgiving classic!

As many books that I read over the years to my girls I have never read any of these.
