Editorial Reviews

This small book has a simple enough concept for a first introduction to fall. Easy enough text for a new reader.

This rhyming picture book for toddlers follows children through typical fall activities following the arc of a day, beginning with walking in the woods surrounded by fall leaves and ending with eating a Thanksgiving dinner. This book is well-crafted to appeal to toddlers. The language is in the first-person in present tense, which toddlers will be able to follow, and involves daily activities and sights which will be familiar to them. The vocabulary is simple and toddlers will know most of the words, and the rhyming text will appeal to toddlers and help them increase their language skills. Toddlers will also be drawn to the illustrations, which are created with simple lines and shapes and brightly colored. This is one of four books in the "I See" series. Recommended.
