Book Descriptions
for Awesome Autumn by Bruce Goldstone
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
How does autumn taste? What is autumn shaped like? Why do leaves change color? How does frost form? These and other questions are answered in this colorful compendium of information about autumn combining facts and creative thinking. Color photographs of scenery, including trees changing color and evergreens (which are “ever green”); food; and other objects and activities associated with autumn illustrate an informative, accessible narrative. Changes taking place in the natural world, including migration, and in the human world, including Halloween and Thanksgiving, not to mention soccer games and leaf-pile jumping, are all included as dimensions of autumn are explained and/or visually explored. Dynamic page spreads add to the volume’s appeal. (Ages 4–7)

What is autumn all about? This comprehensive celebration of all things autumn will show you!
Autumn is awesome! Leaves change color. Animals fly south or get ready to hibernate. People harvest crops and dress up as scary creatures for Halloween. And then there are pickup football games to play, Thanksgiving foods to eat, leaf piles to jump in—all the amazing things that happen as the air turns crisp and cool.
With colorful photographs, lively explanations, and classic craft ideas, Bruce Goldstone's Awesome Autumn has created a festive and fascinating exploration of autumn's awesomeness.
