Beautifully illustrated, In the Autumn Forest has animals facing an impending storm. Starting with denial and panic - the forest foursome seek to find protection as the wind and rain develop. Fox, Mouse and Crow express sadness and wistfulness as summer comes to an end. Squirrel offers the positive outlook - colorful leaves, warm sun, crisp air, blue skies - what could be better? Several emotions to explore as the animals find that the storm offers its own type of bounty.
The text blends nicely with the illustrations which are vibrant and bring movement to the storm.
