We love our books and love sharing suggestions with you to create your own library at home. Even though the kids are getting older, we still love to pull out some of our favorites to read around the holidays and seasons.
Reading to your child is so good for them but also for you too. It makes you stop and just enjoy some snuggle time with your kids while you forget about the to do list and the other things that need to be done.

Board Books
This fun, fall day book is best for the littlest of readers. It has some touch and feel places as you read through this story.
Everyone loves this monkey and his friend in the yellow hat as Curious George is curious about fall. Raking leaves, baking pies, and more in this rhyming book.
Baby loves Fall is a lift the flap book and has been around for along time, we have had some of these books and my kids loved the colorful images on the pages. Nature Stories Little Acorn is the story of a little acorn becomes an oak tree. I Love Fall Touch and feel books are some awesome books this has the touch of the scarf to the crunch of leaves to get ready for the fall.
Autumn in the Forest Deluxe is a lift a flap board book while you learn about fall while following around a little chipmunk as the pumpkins are growing and trees full of apples. Everyone just loves Daniel Tiger from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, based off Mr. Rogers. The illustrations are beautifully done, but I will say there are more words than normal for a board book. Daniel Loves Fall is also another very good one.
Early Learners – Step Readers
It cfan’t be fall without mentioning our favorite Disney Princesses in this book.
Biscuit is a very cute, sweet, yellow dog that anyone would love for any fall day from apples to pumpkins. Read about this in the Great Fall Day.
Read about a boy and his search for the perfect pumpkin in Pumpkin Day!
Step Readers are some of my favorite books to read to my kids and for them to start learning with. It wouldn’t be a book list from me if it didn’t include some classics like Little Critters. One fall favorite is The Fall Festival, which is about discovering apple picking and hayrides.
Fall Picture Books
One of my favorite classics is all about those bears the Berenstain Bears. This is one of the newer published books that includes two classics: Trick or Treat and the Prize Pumpkin.
This autumn book has rhyming text and sound effects. It makes for such a fun read with these friends on the hiking adventures, We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt.
This story is so sweet and colorful. It is about a grandpa and his granddaughter that find wonder in all the moments in Hello, Fall.
Picture books are so much fun from classics to newer ones. There are also picture books that include facts and learning about the season like Awesome Facts or Counting on Fall. Looking for more learning with fun? This picture book series was a favorite What Can You See in the Fall? Not about the facts of fall, but using fall to talk about worries, anxiety, and social struggles in this new book called The Very Last Leaf. Some fun stories with Fancy Nancy and the Fall Foliage from fashion to weather and colors of the leaves as you celebrate the season and new, fancy words. Some other favorite fall picture books for those kiddos in your life are Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn, Pete the Cat Falling for Autumn, Berenstain Bears Harvest Festival, The Leaf Thief, and The Scarecrow.
Books are such a fun family activity to do together. Use this list to add a few to your home library or check out from your local library. I love putting holiday and seasonal books away after the season is over and pull them back out when the holiday and season comes back around. It makes them feel brand new again. Check out some other book lists with recommendations for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Apples.
