October is such a fun month to read aloud to your class! There are so many engaging picture books that you can share for Halloween and fall. This month, in the Colorful Apple Book Club, you’ll find some of my favorites! There are books about the moon, pumpkins, ghosts and even a witch on a broom! Check out the October resources in the Colorful Apple Book Club.
