Take little ones on an active, rhyming jaunt of changing seasons and falling leaves in this poetic board book. Squirrels, foxes, and bunnies romp through the forest as the trees change from the green of summer to autumn colors and finally to the bare branches of early winter. Amber Hendricks' short expressive lines with repeated action words make this poem perfect for sharing with babies and toddlers, and Gavin Scott's warm, cozy illustrations encourage all ages to appreciate nature.

Forest animals frolic across leafy pages that shift from verdant to golden in this board book introduction to autumn, part of the Little Nature Explorers series. Beginning “Up, up, high.// Green against the sky,” couplets chart the course of foliage as it changes color, blows in the breeze, and makes its spinning descent for the titular conclusion: “Down, down, all// Autumn leaves fall.” Scott’s friendly art glows with the hues of changing foliage as it presents a bushy-tailed squirrel, fox, rabbit, and bear jovially playing as varying leaf shapes circle in a wind so blustery it causes the critters to squint and their ears to flatten. Budding leaf peepers are given a welcoming, straightforward snapshot of the season with this book’s focus on fall’s basic attributes. Ages 4–6.
