Fall is definitely here with its falling leaves and chilly mornings. Another sensory delight for readers is Fall is Here! I Love It! by Elaine W. Good.
Elaine created a set of vignettes about life on the farm told through the eyes of a young child. She creates a tingling of sensory descriptions through sights, colors, tastes, smells, and touch. You can connect this book with social studies, the cycle of harvest, ending with the Thanksgiving holiday.
