This book is an outstanding resource to teach children about fall. Even though it is a picture book, it is divided into 3-5 page chapters to introduce a new topic. The chapters are "Fall begins," "Weather chart," and "Fall ends". Each chapter talks about the intended topic. What I found awesome was at the end of each page, it told an extra fact or explored a vocabulary word from that page that might have been difficult to read or is unknown entirely. This tool really helps the child understand better and should be used in more children's literature. Overall, this is one of my new favorite children's books!

There are a number of things that make this series very good for both educational purposes and pleasure reading. First, the design is attractive and easy to follow. The organization works especially well for a teacher who wishes to cover certain aspects of fall in an orderly manner. I also appreciated the use of a table of contents, glossary, index, and additional resources. Each book also contains an activity that goes along with the information covered in each book. The second thing I like is the friendly and appealing illustrations. The illustrations are very child friendly. I also enjoyed the text which is simple enough for younger readers, but also includes side notes for readers who want more information. The text is written as a narrative which makes for a good read a loud. I highly recommend this series for all those that want to learn more about fall. I liked the fact that I learned some things from these books that I did not know previously. For example, I did not realize that when apple seeds are planted the apples they produce are not the same variety of apple as the seed that was planted. Lots of interesting things to learn in these books.

Great informational book for kids about the changing of seasons; summer into fall, fall into winter. Includes a craft project, glossary, and other suggested reading.

I used this book while homeschooling my 5yo about the season of autumn. It is a nice resource with information presented in an interesting and colorful way.
