four seasons books

Do you have a favorite season?  I love sipping a pumpkin spice latte while reading in the fall, cozying up under a blanket next to the fireplace with a good book in the winter, chilling with a good book on a rainy spring day, and laying in the hammock with a summer read.  I can find something special about each season if it involves a good book.  Explore fall, winter, spring, and summer with these preschool books about seasons.

Books About the Seasons for Preschoolers

All Seasons

The books below highlight the changes from season to season.

Cat’s Seasons by Airlie Anderson brings back the colorful cats as they explore each season and the colors associated with those seasons.

Firsts & Lasts: The Changing Seasons by Leda Schubert glides from season to season looking at all of the lasts of the previous season and all the firsts of the new season.  The book has such a flow to it making you reminisce about the past season and looking for to the next.

My Big Book of Outdoors by Tim Hopgood is a big book that you can take little bites out of each season.  Filled with bright bold images that will remind you of Eric Carle’s work and sprinkled with poems, information, and activities for each of the four seasons.

Our Seasons by Sue Lowell Gallion opens up to create a globe.  Each page spread in this die-cut board book features qualities about a particular season with more detailed information in the sidebar. When the pages are all open a magnetic closure keeps everything together and standing.  A fun one to explore.
