No, a fall squirrel can't read aloud stories. Squirrels are not humans or some kind of intelligent beings with language skills in the way we think of. They communicate in their own ways which are mostly based on scents and simple sounds. They don't have the physical or mental ability to pick up a book and start reading a story out loud. Their paws are not made for holding a book and their mouths are for eating nuts, not for forming words to read stories.
No. Squirrels are wild animals with their own instincts. They are more interested in things like finding food and avoiding predators rather than listening to stories.
You can visit your local library. Librarians are great resources and can point you to the children's or general fiction section where there are likely to be books with fall themes. Just ask them for read aloud stories set in fall.
There's 'Ruby's Valentine' by Peggy Rathmann. Ruby wants to make a very special valentine for her valentine. The story is full of cute illustrations and a sweet message.

These stories are great for read aloud during Valentine's Day.
A good winter read aloud story could be 'The Mitten'. It's about a little boy who loses his mitten in the snow and all kinds of animals find it and make it their warm home.

The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen is a great one. It has a lot of beautiful descriptions of the wintry landscapes and a very engaging story about a girl's journey in a frozen world.

A great Easter story to read aloud is the account of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem before his crucifixion. It shows the anticipation and the events that unfolded towards the Easter story. Additionally, the parables that Jesus told during this time, like the parable of the lost son, can also be related to Easter in a way. Reading these aloud can engage the listeners and make them think about the deeper meaning of Easter, as well as the teachings of Jesus.
Look for ones with simple language so that you can read them smoothly. Also, stories with interesting plot twists are great for read aloud. For example, 'The Monkey's Paw' has a simple yet engaging plot.
