Read Aloud Books for October 8

This is a real gem for teachers wanting a simple, Canadian book about Thanksgiving. It describes the changes happening outside during October and how one family works together to not only create a special meal, but also to spend some quality time together. It also details how each member of the family is thankful for something special in his/her life.
Our class used the books' text format, "Thanks for..." to create pages for a class book.
This is a simple, clear book with beautiful illustrations. It talks specifically about leaves and the changes that trees go through during autumn.

This is a great companion book to Zoe Hall's "Fall Leaves Fall". It details the growing and harvesting of pumpkins and the role pumpkins play as a symbol for autumn and Halloween.
