Throughout the summer we enjoyed reading many of our summer alphabet books over and over again. Alphabet books are a great way to introduce kids to the ABCs, alphabetical order, beginning sounds, and vocabulary.
Now that fall is getting close, I’m going to be pulling out some our fall ABC books and checking others out from the library. Here are just a few of our favorites. While they aren’t all specifically about fall, they are all related to something that reminds us of the season.
More Resources for Little Book Lovers
The best way to encourage a love of reading is to provide kids with many opportunities to engage with a wide variety of books that are of interest to them. That’s why we share so many books lists on Fantastic Fun and Learning. We want to make it easy for you to find great books your kids will love. Over the years we’ve also discovered some helpful tools for connecting kids and books.
Digital libraries are one very handy way to do this. Epic! is one of our favorite online libraries. It’s full of over 25,000 books, learning videos, quizzes and more for kids 12 and under…and it’s free for educators. Click here to learn more and sign up.
Book Boxes are another fun way to get kids excited about reading. What kid doesn’t love to get a special delivery in the mail?! The crew over at Bookroo finds the best little known books that you won’t already have in your library, and they send them to you each month. Take a peak inside a Bookroo Box here.
Book-Based Activities are also a lot of fun for kids. Jodie over at Growing Book by Book has saved us all a ton of time and created a full year of Book-Based Activity Calendars so that you can extend the fun with a special book each week.
Make the most out of teaching with ABC Books with these tips.

I had no idea there were so many alphabet books for fall. Thanks for sharing this great list, I’m excited to check some of them out with my preschooler in the upcoming months.
Shaunna
I love discovering new books. So glad to help you find some new ones! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Great list! Thanks for sharing with Afterschool!
Reshama
Its great to see so much variety and to keep the little ones interested in their ABC’s. I remember pouring over these when DD was little. She would never tire because everytime there was some different way of looking at the same alphabets. ๐ Thanks for sharing on Mom’s Library.

I absolutely agree. That’s why I love ABC books so much. They really are beneficial in so many ways.
Sarah @HowWeeLearn
ABC books are such a fantastic way for wee ones to practice letters – thank you for this list! It is a great way to consolidate learning done during the day right before bed time !
Shaunna
I agree, Sarah! Sometimes most of our “school” work gets incorporated into our bedtime routine. My daughter seems to be so focused then, so we have moved some of our daily activities to this part of our day.
