This month Ms. Crabtree is sharing her favorite fall books with us!
Fall is Not Easy by Marty Kelley 
E Fic Kelley
The main character in Fall Is Not Easy is a tree that has its share of troubles with its fall colors. No matter what pattern its leaves change into–a smiley face, a spotted cow, an “Eat at Joe’s” sign–nothing seems to work out quite right. How will the tree solve its seasonal dilemma?
Leaf Trouble by Jonathan Emmett
E Fic Emmett
When he wakes up one morning to find that his home tree is changing, little squirrel is scared! Why are all the leaves falling off? Quickly he corrals his sister and they gather up the leaves in colorful pawfuls. But try as they may to stick them back on the branches, it’s hopeless: Yellow, orange, red, and brown, all the leaves keep falling down! It’s only when their wise mama explains what happens in autumn that the two little squirrels understand the seasons are changing. Green leaves will sprout anew in spring!
We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger
E Fic Metzger
A new take on a familiar story. Three friends hike over a mountain and through a forest to collect leaves of all kinds and colors. What will they do with all their leaves at the end of the story? Jump and play in them, of course!
Fall Mixed Up by Bob Raczka
E Fic Raczka
“Every Septober, Every Octember, Fall fills my senses with scenes to remember.” “Bears gather nuts. Geese hibernate. Squirrels fly south in big figure eights.” Fall is all mixed up in this silly book from Bob Raczka! Can you find his mistakes in the words and pictures?
This story takes the reader from New York City to the Scilly Islands off the coast of Cornwall, England. It is the story of two families and the events of May 1915. The First World War is raging in Europe and ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean are not safe from German U-boat attacks. The S.S. Lusitania, the largest, most luxurious passenger ship, set sail from New York believing it was safe from submarine attacks.
Recommended for: Ages 9-12
