This is great for younger children, would feature well in a storytime, and has a nice pace. I will use this in the future for learning seasons, autumn, and colors.

Another terrific book from Kevin Henkes. I loved the fall colors and enchanting illustrations. My only nit-picky quibble is that fall isn't always followed by snow - it would be nice to have a book about fall that reflects the reality of some warmer climates! This would make a good addition to an autumn-themed storytime or curriculum.

I love the illustrations and word choice in this picture book. The story highlights all the best things about fall. Great addition to a unit on fall or the seasons.

I keep waiting for Henkes and Dronzek to be less charming. Hasn't happened yet.

3.5 stars... A good story to read to talk about the seasons changing from fall to winter. The illustrations are bold and filled with autumn colors that make them pop off the page! Beautiful end pages add a special treat as well.
