“Revel in the beauty of the fall season with this lyrical picture book for young children. On a gold-blooming day, readers are invited to look at a bee sipping nectar from a flower, watch the sun through branches on a tree, and see a snake glide, a spider hide, cricket chirp, and a butterfly slurp. Silky milkweed seeds drift from a seed pod and squirrels crunch nuts. A moose munches a leaf, raindrops fall, and mushrooms pop up out of the ground. Readers can witness other fall wonders such as fawns grazing, cattails swaying, and a family apple-picking. Pumpkins, leaf piles, and a breezy chill all signal the season of fall in all its glory. Each phrase is accompanied by photographs that truly capture the season. This is a wonderful book to celebrate the season of fall and to identify new vocabulary words for young readers. A beautiful book that can be read almost like a poem or a song and should be on every bookshelf leading up to and during the season of fall! Reviewer Rating: 5” –Children’s Literature
