Season Books for Preschool Kids

Time can be a difficult concept for preschoolers to grasp. But the changing of the seasons is a great way to begin to talk about the passage of time. Even if your area does not have visible changes for each season, your preschoolers can begin to know what happens at different times of the year. (Christmas is in wintertime; you can buy pumpkins in the fall; and so forth.) Use these books in your classroom library or in other areas of the room to talk about different seasonal changes and to discuss what happens in other places during the seasons.
