Leaves Fall Down

"While taking an autumn walk, a boy asks his mom all sorts of questions about fall and gets a scientific lesson in return - and your kids will, too, in the form of fall vocabulary, rich illustrations and suggested activities."

"These four books are intended to give children basic scientific information about the featured topic. The double-page illustrations depicting the flora and fauna of the books' settings are rich and warm, but the computer-generated people look stiff and are a bit jarring against the more realistic backgrounds. Two children's exploration of and conversation about each topic inevitably lead to the end, where readers can find a related craft/activity. For the many early childhood classrooms in which all aspects of autumn are a part of the curriculum, these titles will be welcome, child-friendly additions."
