This book takes emergent readers on a conceptual walk through a fall setting, looking at basic concepts such as color and shape through a close examination of beautiful fall leaves. Captions call readers' attention to important visual information in the images, and clear chapter headings help to organize the book's central messages. Readers will also find inviting questions, an accessible glossary, and an index that makes for a useful search tool.

"These titles will encourage students to not only engage with the books but with the world around them as well. Stock photos accompany brief texts. Apples, Pumpkins, and Leaves consider concepts such as colors, shapes, and size. Harvests includes familiar crops--grapes and broccoli and more unusual ones, like canola and sorghum. Animals introduces topics such as adaptation, migration, and hibernation. Weather is the weakest of the lot, with no explanation of why seasonal changes occur. A simple glossary and index introduce the rudiments of nonfiction. Follow-up activities stress outdoor explorations, such as leaf gathering or animal observation, rather than research. VERDICT: While not essential purchases, the series could be used as a starting point for fall-related activities."--School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
--JournalMari Schuh is the author of more than 300 nonfiction books for beginning readers, covering topics from tomatoes to tornadoes. She lives with her husband in her hometown of Fairmont, Minnesota.
