Last year we started a new tradition of decorating a seasonal table.  It was a lot of fun, and we have continued with it all through the year.

Something new I’ve started this year (nothing big, just new for us) is pulling all of our “seasonal” books off of the shelves and keeping them together in one place for quick and easy access.  This has also been a lot of fun, and I feel like it’s helped us not to miss out on reading certain books at the “appropriate” time.

Today I thought I’d share a few of our favorites for this time of year.

Apples, Apples is a cute board book all about a bear family going to pick apples, and the words are all rhyme-y, so of course it’s very exciting.

Why Do Leaves Change Color? is both interesting to read, and extremely educational.

A favorite that we still have my childhood copy of is It’s Thanksgiving by Jack Prelutsky.  Very fun.

If you haven’t ever read The Year at Maple Hill Farm, you are missing out!  It covers all the seasons, and it’s just really great.

Finally, we’ve all been getting to know Little Soup.  He’s a lot of fun and I think entertaining for boys and girls both, which is a plus.  For fall we have Little Soup’s Hayride and Little Soup’s Turkey. 

So, now you know what we’ve been reading. 

Do you have any favorite “fall books”?
