Awesome Autumn - (Season Facts and Fun) by Bruce Goldstone (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

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.
