As Halloween creeps closer and closer my kids get more and more excited. It probably doesn’t help that I feed into it with festive decorations, fun food, and themed books the second October hits. Okay, usually a little earlier. Today I wanted to share some of our favorite fall books for little ones! Links contain Amazon affiliates.

our favorite fall books for kids 

I like to pull out our Fall books for easy access near the end of September, then switch them out the day after Thanksgiving for our Christmas batch. It’s sweet to see my kids–even the big kids–get so excited about curling up with their favorite fall books year after year. And I love re-reading our favorites to them again too! There are so many great books for this time of year, but here are some of our favorite ones.

    Oh wow, I don’t have kids and am drawing a huge blank on Fall books. I do remember seriously enjoying Halloween town and hocus pocus on Disney channel lol

      I love Hocus Pocus!! I haven’t seen it in a few years because my husband does not feel the same way, lol.

    I remember all of the great Halloween books there were when I was younger. This looks like such a great list! I used to read the Berenstein Bears all the time.

    • Justine @ Little Dove October 11, 2016 at 10:01 pm #

      Yes, I loved the Berenstein Bears as a kid, so fun to share them with my own kids now!

    I love anything Charlie Brown or Curious George, especially during this time of the year! I have not heard of any others, but they sound cute!

    This is so fun! I started checking out Halloween books from our library last week, even though my son would much rather crawl around then sit and read a book with mama!

    • Justine @ Little Dove October 11, 2016 at 10:04 pm #

      Haha, I used to feel like there was something wrong with my kids because they wouldn’t sit still for books, but it was just a stage. 😉
