This book is all about the process of leaves changing colors in the season of fall. The book is broken up into chapters, or stages of the changing of colors in the leaves. I really liked this book, not only because of the amazing and colorful drawings, but it has great science content in a way that is very easy for students to understand. There is a great balance of words and pictures, and the pictures are very beneficial to explaining what the written text is saying. Breaking up the process in chapters is really awesome because students are then able to go back and reread a part of the book that they did not understand. One way that I would use this book in the classroom is designing a graphic organizer with the students as we read the book that organizes the process of the changing leaves. ( )

a discussion of the leaves during fall: changing colors, and how they fall from the tree to save energy

This book is a wonderful fall book I will incorporate into my classroom Library. This book is very informative about how leaves change colors in the fall. ( )

There are a couple reasons why I liked this book. One reason is because the illustrations in the book are amazing. There is so much color and detail in the illustrations. The illustrator also drew pictures in different perspectives which makes livens up the illustrations. For example, on page a couple children are walking in the snow and behind them you can see other children sledding clearly. Everyone in this illustration is on different horizontal lines. The second thing I liked about this book is how information is presented. Every page starts off with, "Look! I spy a ..." This first sentences introduces the topic. The next page gives a statement and then a fact. For example, "Look! I spy a tiny bud on a branch. Spring days last longer. Sunshine warms the buds. Rain falls on the ground. Water creeps up from the roots to the trunk to the branches."
The main idea of this book is to talk about the different seasons and describe things that happen during those seasons. Facts about those seasons are listed throughout the book. ( )
