Here are my favorites:

Cinnamon Hen's Autumn Day, by Sandra Dutton
Cinnamon Hen has a yard full of leaves to rake, and is very happy to rake them until Mr. Rabbit comes along and convinces her to hire him to rake them instead. Reluctantly, Cinnamon Hen agrees. But the whole time Mr. Rabbit is raking she longs to be outside raking them herself. Eventually, she offers to rake her neighbor's yard instead and everyone is happy. This story is cute, and it might even inspire your little ones to rake the leaves in your yard!
This story was new to me this year, and I'm so glad I found it. Fletcher is a fox kit who has a favorite tree. Fletcher considers the tree to be his friend, so he is very distraught when the tree begins to lose its leaves. Fletcher's mom tries to tell him the tree is fine, but Fletcher is not convinced. He tries everything to keep the leaves from falling off- from holding them on for hours on end to taping the leaves to the branches. Of course, nothing works and the tree is eventually bare. But Fletcher finds that the tree has a surprise in store for him one frosty winter morning.
Happy Reading!
