When Autumn Falls

Plot Summary

As September fades, a new season begins. Leaves and temperatures tumble. And, as autumn falls, new colors and smells gradually replace the heat and intensity that was summer. Children love caramel-apple making and bobbing for apples. Jack-o'-lanterns appear and piles of leaves stacked high beckon. Autumn means the end of summer, but the beginning of something new and crisp and familiar.

"Simple language and colorful cut-paper illustrations are perfectly matched to provide an engaging look at an appropriately named season. ...Varied seasonal activities reinforce the mood, including children bobbing for apples, selecting pumpkins, and playing in crisply hued leaves.
