Fall Books For Preschoolers
Summer is coming to an end and I am so ready to welcome in the autumn season with these 20 fall books for preschoolers!
Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves are changing colors, we are eating our weight in apple cider donuts and hot chocolate, and of course, there is plenty of time spent cuddled up on the couch reading together.
I love passing on my love of fall to my kids and these stories help me do that while at the same time teaching them the science behind the changes that fall brings. It doesn’t get any better than that!
Between these fall books, my Halloween books, and my Thanksgiving books, we are all set this autumn and I can’t wait to get reading!

I remember reading the original There Was an Old Lady book as a child and I was so happy to see this fall version! I can’t wait to read it with my kids and see how they put an autumn-themed spin on a classic.
Another fall take on a classic is this fun story about some friends who go on an adventure to gather up some leaves as they fall to the ground. Your kids will love the poem-like story!
