As fall settles in and evenings get cooler, there’s no better activity than curling up with your little one and reading a good book. Our top book picks for this month feature all the seasonal must haves: crunchy leaves, turkeys, a witch and lots of pumpkins. Pick up these books at our local library, borrow from a friend or order online from your favourite bookstore.
