Now the evenings grow dark much sooner 

And the shadows of the night are found. 

And the winds blow upon us much cooler. 

The leaves rustle as they float to the ground. 

Gather your family one and all 

And be sure to turn down the light!

Because nature reminds us that fall 

Is the season for stories of fright! 

Book Nook Challenge:

As a family, choose a keyword like “autumn” or “pumpkin” or “turkey” or any other word of interest. Take a family trip to the library and search for books with your keyword in the title. How many books can you find? How many of those books can you read together in October and November?
