"Fuzzy socks and
cozy clothes.
A scarf around
my chilly nose.
Collecting acorns when they drop.
I rake some crunchy leaves and -
Flop!"
Changing seasons is always a delight for little ones. It is so exciting for them to watch as summer turns to fall with its brilliant colors, new things to do, and the celebrations that are an important part of the new season.
The children here are asked by their teacher to share what makes fall special for them. Their answers are as varied as those things that make fall unique and anticipated every year. Being back at school with new school supplies and good friends, warmer clothes, leaf gathering, pumpkin patches ... it's all described here in rhyming language that will make reading accessible for young readers.
Photoshop artwork shows a busy and friendly neighborhood where children take part in the many activities described. Orange, rust and gold are the predominating colors, and the many charming scenes are sure to appeal to those listening. Endpapers are filled with images that might have been created by the children themselves, and will encourage adding ideas to the list already mentioned.
"Fall has treasures to be found
in colors, textures, smells and sounds.
It's so much fun - we love it all."
What do you love about fall?
