I love the fall season, so today I rounded up some really fun kids books about Fall! I have a few books I rotate out every year because they are seasonal, and the kids get so excited when it’s time to take them out. It’s the same idea as rotating toys… they seem to be much more excited when it’s something they haven’t seen in a while!
The Fall books I chose are appropriate for ages baby and up. I added my age recommendation next to each title below. As far as the stories go, they are all themed around autumn. Some are funny, some are touching, and some teach a little about why the fall happens (yay science!). I added some mini reviews below too!
