New on Our Kids' Shelves This Fall

Back-to-school stories

The start of a school year brings big feelings. Picture books like Leo’s First Day and Off to School give young readers a way to talk about nerves and excitement before the bell rings.

Learning that feels like play

Activity books such as Learn & Play mix letters, numbers and puzzles into short sessions a child can finish in a few minutes. They are a good fit for quiet afternoons and long car rides.

Bedtime adventures

For the end of the day, look for gentle journeys with a satisfying ending. Blue Bear’s Big Night and Starlight Explorer are two our booksellers keep recommending.

You will find all of these in our Kid category, and our booksellers are always happy to help you choose.
