It’s Fall! By Renée Kurilla

Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Summary:  Fall is introduced with rhyming text and lively illustrations.  A diverse group of kids, who appear to be in a class together, enjoy apple picking, pumpkin carving, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.  The illustrations reflect the season, with their predominantly yellow, orange, and red shades.  Be sure to check out the endpapers for kid-style drawings of their favorite fall things.  Between that and the question on the last page: “What things to you love about fall?” kids should be ready to write and draw about the season.  32 pages; ages 3-8.

Pros:  Preschool and kindergarten teachers will be thrilled to see this bouncy introduction to the simple joys of autumn with plenty of material to get kids thinking about what they enjoy about fall.

Cons:  I don’t see similar books about the other seasons, although this is listed on Amazon with a parenthetical “Celebrate the Seasons, 1”, so we can hope they’re on their way.
