It might night be fall just yet, but it's creeping closer and closer...Which means the leaves on the trees will be changing their colors and parading their autumn allure. But who says you have to wait to enjoy all the natural beauty around you? Whether it's August, October, or April, get out and explore all the glorious colors and shapes in the gardens, parks, and forests––and keep a catalogue of your treasured trees in the pages of Fall Walk! This hardcover children's book by Virginia Brimhall Snow (Gibbs Smith, $16.99, Ages 4 to 8, August 2013, ISBN: 978-1-4236-3261-0) is filled with beautifully illustrated pictures and a fun narrative of an exploration through the wonderful woods, showing identifying characteristics of 24 different types of leaves and giving easy, helpful instructions on pressing and rubbing leaves.
Make it a family activity and see who can find the most different kinds of leaves...just remember to stay out of the itchy stuff! www.gibbs-smith.com
