El nuevo libro favorito De Alba. Hojas de cartón gruesas, lleno de texturas y vocabulario relacionado con el otoño. No hay quien la separe de él.

I really like that this book covers both fall holidays: Halloween and Thanksgiving (it's hard to find books that don't focus merely on Halloween). The images are engaging and the textures are fun. It's marked as 0+, and has been a hit with my eighteen-month-old daughter.

Nice textures for an infant/baby/toddler to explore.

Ugh the Thanksgiving page ruined it. I liked the photos of gourds, cranberries, and more. The children liked the textured pages. I just couldn't get past the child dressed as pilgrim on the last page.

My only complaint is I wish it was longer! It contains two pics for Halloween, two pics for Thanksgiving, fall fruits, a fuzzy squirrel, a family walking in the fallen leaves and a bumpy leaf. A really great yet simple textured fall book for babies and toddlers.

Some of the picture weren’t accurate. The “pumpkin”was a jack-o’-lantern, “thanksgiving” was of a kid dressed as a pilgrim. Also very short. Maybe 5 pictures total. Montessori aligned as they are photos, not illustrations.

The leaf, turkey, and squirrel were nice tactile experiences; "walk" is an abstract noun compared to the other tangible objects; even as of 2010, Thanksgiving imagery should be more focused on harvest and Indigenous traditions instead of pilgrims / settlers.

I really liked this book, but it was too short. Loved the tactile illustrations.

The squirrel is the standout in this book. The pilgrim at the end is a nice surprise.

Short book that has textures on some key themes of Fall.

Average… babies liked it but not loved like the Winter version.

Touchy feely book, but I wonder how long the squirrels hair will last?
