Best Picture Books About Fall | Fall Read Alouds
We’ve had a late start to fall. It’s almost the end of September and the leaves are finally starting to change color and drop. I’ve busted out our “go to” fall books and picked up some newbies at the library. Leaf Man has always been a favorite. We usually go on a nature walk and recreate leaf man. The kids always get a kick out of There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves. Fall Mixed Up was new to us this year. My girls thought it was hilarious. I mean gloves on your ears and squirrels flying south? C’mon. Enough said, right! 🙃
