Little Elliot, Fall Friends by Mike Curato

4.0

It’s fall and Little Elliot and his best friend Mouse decide they need a little time away from the big city and take a bus to the country. The country is big, beautiful in its fall colors, and there is lots to do. But when the friends play hide and seek, and Elliot hides among the corn stalks, he waits and waits, but Mouse doesn’t find him and it’s starting to get dark. Suddenly, Elliot notices an really yummy smell and follows his nose to a freshly baked pie. Sure enough, Mouse has found Elliot, but the fun doesn’t end here. This is the fourth Little Elliot and the pastel polka-dot elephant’s adventures are still fresh and fun. Curators mixed media illustrations detail the rich colors of autumn, but never over shadow the friendship between Little Elliot and Mouse. A gently quiet story that will surely please young readers.
