Bookworm List- Fall's in the Air

The air is getting chilly and the smells of pumpkins and apples are close by. Welcome fall. Fall officially starts this Friday, and what better way to celebrate than with a book? My favorite books to read around this time of year are  an illustrated version of " When the Frost is on the Punkin" by Indiana poet James Whitcomb Riley and lots of  ghost story collections, but here are some more books that are  worth a look.

• Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert-A man made of leaves travels the autumn landscape. Made on die-cut pages, this is a great book for preschool reads.
