Fall has arrived, and three children and their parents are ready to enjoy the new season. It begins with “crisp and cool” mornings and making new friends when the children go back to school. Then the children and their dog have a wonderful time jumping in the leaves that their parents have raked up in the front yard. On the weekends, the family go on hayrides and hikes. They see “Trees of orange, sky of blue,” and they notice how many animals are getting ready for the winter months.

This picture book gives children a delightful picture of what autumn is like. With a simple yet evocative rhyming text, and expressive and colorful illustrations, this is an excellent title to enjoy during the autumn season.
