I love getting Tyler Lee themed books for seasons and occasions and with autumn finally making it's appearance here in Ireland and Halloween just around the corner I went in search of some autumn and Halloween themed books for him. I have to admit, it was quite difficult to find books in an autumn theme in my local Waterstones, I was also surprised that they didn't have a table display full of Halloween books in the children's section, something which they usually do for holidays. When I inquired I was told that the display would be going up next week and that I was expecting it far too early on October 2nd - I hardly think so when the shops are full of Christmas stuff already! I shall be venturing in there again next week and sharing what I manage to get my hands on then but until then I wanted to share these four lovely books with you all that I picked up for my boy.
I've come across so many parents in search of autumn themed books and the two I've gotten are absolutely lovely books, my favourite of the bunch being 'Millie-Mae in Autumn'. This book is illustrated so beautifully and has lovely touches such a shimmery golden leaves and glittered wind trails. I think the book just captures the spirit of autumn perfectly and it's such a lovely book to look at whilst reading. This book is also available in the other seasons too. 'Penguin and Pumpkin' is another sweet book about a penguin who is curious about autumn and goes on an adventure to a faraway farm to discover all the delights the season has to offer and how to share them with someone special. It really is a heart-warming book about family and friendship.
As for the Halloween selection I searched the shelves and came across 'Room On the Broom', a book by the author of 'The Gruffalo' and 'Zog' - favourites of ours so I knew Tyler Lee would love this one just as much about a witch and her cat on a broomstick. I love the rhyming verses of this book. 'Wickle Woo Has A Halloween Party' is a proper little toddler board book with pull on tabs throughout. The tabs feature all the guests at Wickle Woo's Halloween party and this really is a fun little book for little ones. I've decided to get Tyler Lee some Halloween themed books this year instead of sweets and chocolate. I think the books will be far more beneficial to him, I've stated before that I think books are the perfect gift for little ones, plus they're super fun for his bedtime story time.
I shall be venturing to my local Waterstones again next week to see their Halloween display and what other great themed titles they have to offer. Can you recommend any great autumn or Halloween themed books for toddlers?
These books looks so cute. I love the Pengiun and the Pumpkin. There us a toddler book called Happy Halloween that is super cute too. Such a great post!
Those look adorable! I'm in Texas and it has been fall/Halloween crazy here for awhile. I swear Pumpkin Spice has taken over the nation.
Those are too cute! I always love it when the seasonal books come out! 🙂 Bet Tyler will love them!
Room on the broom is meant to be good
This is a great post! I never find anything on books for my kids, especially themed ones for the season. thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to look into these 🙂 -Holly
These look so cute! I would probably buy them, even without a toddler! 😉
The illustration on Millie-Mae In Autumn is super cute! What a great collection of Fall themed books <3
Cute books. I often buy books for little kids for their birthdays rather than toys or clothes.
Don't have kids, but whenever I give presents to kids its always been books so I love the recommendations!
Great picks on books. Thanks!
what a great list of books. we don't have kids yet so i'll have to reference back to this way later.
Really cute books. There are very important in the child's development even at such a young age.
Room on the Broom is one of my younger son's favorite books! We've read it over and over and over...
We have Room On The Broom and my daughter loves it! These are all super cute books!
Oh these look so cute, my little one's been watching halloween cartoons for the last few weeks and loving it. I'll need to get him some books as well 🙂
How cute!! I love childrens books so much!
Love holiday themed books for children. Great picks, I never heard of these 🙂
And, i now want to read the penguin and pumpkin! How cute that sounds! I absolutely love children's books. thanks for sharing!!!
I've never heard of any of these, but will definitely be checking them out!
These look so cute. We have "Goodnight Goon" and it's definitely a favorite.
Penguin and Pumpkin looks very cute, must check it out. We've just started our venture into reading here with the "Thats Not my Fox" book - definitely need something with more of a story going forward for Mammys sanity! 😛
Our favorite halloween book right now is Clifford's Halloween. Love the big red dog 😀
I love Room on the Broom!! Great books!
Such great books! I love reading books to kids that are relevant to whatever is going on at that time. I think my nephew would love these!
they look like fab books, love a good childrens book 🙂 i'm performing in a waterstones on Friday evening because my friend is an author and has just published his second piece of work, which is a play, but he previously released his first children's book and that brought me right back to the wonder of them and the imagination that these books can stir 🙂
If I buy my children that don't know how to read right now any more books I think I might go crazy with how many books they already have.
Aww how adorable - they look like good choices 🙂
