Fall

Mary Lindeen has authored many non-fiction books for young children and beginning readers that are wonderful. This is a great book for children learning about the seasons, especially fall. It talks about school staring, leaves changing colour and falling, birds flying south, pumpkins and apples as well as a mention of Hallowe'en. It is a beginning basal reader that had realistic pictures to accompany the words. The text is short, perfect for emerging readers. The main facts are probably exactly what a parent or teacher would use to describe the season of "autumn or fall". This would be a great companion book to "It's Fall, Dear Dragon" by the same publisher. At the end of the book there are activities a teacher or caregiver could do with the reader as well as a list of words used in the book.

A fun, educational early reader!

Another great book. I really like this one for my library because my kids don't get to experience the sort of autumns that I did, and I love telling them about them. The pictures will help explain what I'm talking about.

I love the Dear Dragon books paired with the non-fiction counterpart.  I have purchased a few sets to use in centers in my classroom.

In this book, the reader is given a simple introduction to fall; leaves changing colors, cooler temperatures, bird movements, school starting, just to name a few.  I love the fall relevant pictures with the words. 

This book is perfect for pre-k and kindergarten, or those that struggle reading, especially with the lists of high frequency and content words.  I especially love the Reading Reinforcement activities at the end of the books.

Thank you Norwood House Press and NetGalley for the free digital copy of this book for an honest review.
