Sayre, April Pulley. Full of Fall. Beach Lane Books, 2017. $17.99. ISBN 9781481479844. 40 pages. Ages 4-8. P8 Q8
Simple poetry leads the reader through the progression of changing leaves as the landscape prepares for winter.
There is information at the end of the book on the science behind the changing colors and life cycle of leaves. Photographic illustrations include close ups and far away shots highlighting the beauty of leaves. The words are simple, but combined with the pictures, it is an elegant picture book. Words create motion, “They float and sink. They snag and swirl.”
Verdict: This book makes a great addition to a library with young children. The colors are delightful, the words are simple, and the information at the back of the book helps the children learn about fall.
