I love Fall. I love Autumn. I love the newness of school and honeymoon period that exists with your class. I love the cooler weather (not that we get that in Arizona, boo!) and the leaves changing. I love apples and pumpkins fabulous fairs. I really do love Fall, and I love passing that love for the season onto the kids through picture books. As a mom we check out a million books all dealing with Fall. As a teacher I would have numerous activities and lessons centered around Autumn. As a librarian I would teach about the seasons and life cycles of plants as well as put on display all sorts of fabulous Fall books.
These sixteen books are truly some of the best picture books dealing with pumpkins, apples, cooler weather, leaves changing colors and falling to the ground, and all things Fall related.
