Review by Booklist Review
Ages 5-9. In the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science Stage 2 series, this is an informative concept book that explains what happens to leaves in autumn as they change colors and then separate from the tree. Krupinski's bright gouache-and-colored pencil illustrations show a boy and a girl playing in a country landscape that changes with weather and light. There are also detailed pictures of leaves in different sizes, shapes, and colors. Maestro includes simple instructions for making a leaf rubbing and for pressing leaves, as well as suggestions for places to visit where the fall foliage is special.

Review by Horn Book Review
Attractive illustrations accompany a text whose attempts to simplify highly complex chemical processes result in a few statements that lack accuracy. Concepts and terms are not always clearly defined. Helpful instructions on making leaf rubbings and pressing leaves conclude the volume, along with a list of places across the country to see fall foliage. From HORN BOOK 1994, (c) Copyright 2010.
