When autumn falls

PreS-Gr 1-Simple language and colorful cut-paper illustrations are perfectly matched to provide an engaging look at an appropriately named season. The poetic text emphasizes all of the things that "fall": "The temperature falls,/bringing cooler weather./Grab your jacket or your sweater." Other spreads describe how "Leaves fall," "Ripe apples fall," and even "Football players fall." Varied seasonal activities reinforce the mood, including children bobbing for apples, selecting pumpkins, and playing in crisply hued leaves. Sure to please young readers, this title rises to the top.-Andrea Tarr, Corona Public Library, CA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

As September fades, a new season begins. Leaves and temperatures tumble. And, as autumn falls, new colors and smells gradually replace the heat and intensity that was summer. Autumn means the beginning of something new and crisp and familiar.

Observes the aptly named fall season, characterized by falling leaves, falling apples, falling players on the football field, and falling temperatures.
