Autumn Children's Books

Yellow and red, orange and brown-- fall is full of color! But why do leaves change color? Illustrated with gorgeous watercolor and collage artwork, this nonfiction picture book introduces young readers to the science behind the many colors of leaves. With a glossary and hands-on experiments.

"Fall is here, with all its wonderful visual delights--not just colors, but shapes! This clever concept book follows a family on a trip to a pumpkin patch and invites children to pick out shapes from the seasonal scenery--apple bushel circles, square hay bales, diamond kites in the autumn sky! Felicia Sanzari Chernesky's sweet verses are perfectly complemented by Susan Swan's gorgeous collage-inspired art."--Publisher description.
