Fall & Autumn Picture Books

I have gathered 30 children's picture books for fall over the last week & some of them we've read & some are new for the year & season! (Also, I will have a Halloween list in a couple weeks, but on my Instagram poll, most of you voted for fall picture books first; so here you go!) I usually try to post the link where you can get the book the cheapest, but some books are only available in library binding (which is always more expensive.) 
What's your favorite part of autumn or fall?  I love the rich colors of the leaves, the weather cooling off, visiting pumpkin patches, and warm drinks (like apple cider!)  Please enjoy the gorgeous colors in these books. Autumn is such a pretty season!
