10 educational and fun stories about autumn 2026

Do you know all the benefits that reading brings to the little ones? To begin with, it is a perfect learning vehicle, since through it they can strengthen concepts. In addition, it is one of the perfect alternatives to work on children's creativity and imagination: thanks to reading stories (always adapted to each individual's specific level) children are able to recreate stories in their minds and form imaginary worlds. This, in the long run, will benefit their mental development.

Furthermore, the benefit of reading stories from childhood to work on writing or reading comprehension is well known. For the latter, we can be participants from home: it will be enough for us to propose reading to our children as a game. First we will read a story aloud with them and we will ask questions related to the plot throughout the reading. Then, once finished, we can propose a little drama related to the story we have been reading and even create a debate: how would your child have solved the knot of the story? How would you imagine the ending? What would he do if he were the protagonist?

Thus, little by little, he will work on his synthesis and oratory skills, while seeing time as a fun game with which to spend time with the family.

Well, once we know the benefits that stories about childhood bring, we have to move on to choosing the selected one or ones. Here they will take a lot of action: it is scientifically proven that there will be more success in liking the book if we let them choose what they are going to read themselves. The options are many and each one more fun than the last.

Among all the themes in the world, this time we have selected autumn: the end of September and the beginning of October mean a return to routines, but they also mean visits to the grandparents' house, family meals, nuts, brown colors and leaves on the ground. Although, with climate change becoming more evident, it is also time to make sure of changes in temperature and torrential rains. And how do we explain to the children that this is not normal in autumn?

Well with a story:

Stories to save the planet

Although any season of the year is good to educate children about caring for the planet, the truth is that the results of climate change are very noticeable in autumn: temperatures undergo sudden changes, rains become increasingly scarce and, when they arrive, they do so in a torrential way and the trees have less and less life. Therefore, stories like this become especially relevant when summer ends.

Written by Anna Casals and Paolo Ferri, it is an illustrated book that highlights the impact of our life system on the planet. In addition, it offers a lot of tricks to solve them. Specifically, children will be able to learn about how excess plastic is a danger to marine fauna, about the benefits of planting trees, about water pollution, the extinction of animals or about global warming.
