The Four Seasons

Fall

by Maria Rius

 

 

    This is a really cute book for young children.  The boy and girl go on many adventures having to do with fall.  They go back to school, they ride their bikes through the park and the leaves are falling all around.  Then they go to the store and see all the different kinds of apples.  Their grandfather is growing pumpkins so they go to the garden to look at them.  They pick grapes and berries from the bushes. Their mother makes jam with the berries and the boy and girl help. It is a quick look at fall activities

that young children would enjoy.  The book has great illustrations too and some questions parents could ask children for more comprehensions which is a very good reading skill.  It also has a couple of activities at the end that you could do with your child.

I added all of the season books I could find by Maria Rius.  So other books out there by Maria sharing about the seasons of the year.  This is a good skill for children to learn about the four seasons and to know how they are different.

The Fall Gathering

by

Rita Kohn

 

   This book is for preschool and primary grades based on learning the concept of Quantity, such as how much and how many.  The story takes place of course in the fall in a woodland region of the Great Lakes of North America.  This was the homeland of more than twenty Native American nations.  The book's focus is the annual gathering to share and give thanks for the harvest.  The

 children can count along and see each page which shares the number of things brought to the festival.  This is a great book for children to strengthen their counting skills and help them to learn to share and cooperate with others.  At the end of the book the author shares  about the woodland tribes of the Great Lakes.  She also shares some woodland recipes.   One of my favorites is the Woodland Fry Bread.  A good activity after reading and talking about the book would be to try the 5 Woodland Recipes at the end of the book with your family that night for dinner.  It would be a great learning experience. Great book!!!!  Happy Reading!!!!!
