The Best New Children's Books of the Month

Sep 16, 2024

Make room for exciting new titles your whole family will love! With so many new stories to savor this month, there's no better time to refresh your child's home library and encourage them to build a fall reading routine.

Try our free fall reading log to track your family's reading goals this season.

Whether your child is exploring picture books, graphic novels, or chapter books, there are plenty of titles they won't want to miss this September. These books, which cover important themes like confidence and kindness among others, are full of rich narratives and unforgettable characters.

For instance, Peppa Pig: Peppa's Big Feelings is the perfect read-aloud to help little ones navigate their big emotions. Featuring beloved Peppa Pig and friends, young readers will be able to relate to each character's struggles and learn how to manage their own feelings and emotions.

If your child is learning phonics, try Rubble & Crew: 5-Minute Phonics. Join superstar pup Rubble and his crew in this read-together phonics adventure! Packed with five stories and five activities, this compilation makes it fun and easy to reinforce key phonics skills — and is perfect for reading each day of the week.

For newly independent readers and sports fanatics, share Diary of a Pug #11: Pug the Sports Star and Owl Diaries #20: The Owlympic Games. Part of Scholastic's early chapter book line, Branches, these early chapter books are perfect for readers who are ready to move beyond picture books – but aren’t quite ready for a text-heavy novel.

Meanwhile, older readers will love diving into thrilling mysteries, spine-chilling horror, and eerie-sistible fantasy — and they're perfect for welcoming the Halloween season. Check out The Witching WindThe School for Wicked Witches, and Goosebumps Graphix: The Haunted Mask. (Find more spooky picks for preteens and teens.)
