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.
