“Awesome Autumn” by Bruce Goldstone. 

This non-fiction book explains some of the key events that happen in autumn from leaves to hibernating and migrating animals. With wonderful pictures it’s great for older preschoolers. 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.
