Leaf Through a Fall Book!

Fall is such a great time of year.  The unrelenting heat of summer is gone, we throw open the windows and breathe in fresh air, pumpkins begin to proliferate on porches and front steps, beautiful yellow and wine-red cushion mums appear at the local nursery, and the leaves on the trees begin to change and tumble to the ground.

October also always means there’s a boost in children’s book circulation, and it’s not just Halloween that kids are interested in.  Any book on a fall theme is bound to be checked out as soon as it is put on display.  Enjoy the season and consider taking home one of the following titles:
