Review
'This set of four picture books are a lovely way to inspire creativity and imagination in your little one. Each book contains its own season packed full of detailed drawings ... The most wonderful thing about these books is that the story is always different, there are always new things to discover and new stories to tell. If you are looking for some creative ways to introduce the Seasons to your kids or even just hoping to get some picture books, this set is a definite must.' -- Baby Let's Shop.com

Format:Board book
This book is 12 pages long (has six Autumn seasonal scenes acrss the pages) on a small (8 x 6.75") boardbook type format. Gorgeously illustrated in Autumn tones of realistic looking children engaging in real tasks/activites. This book is a treasure and in my house it is enjoyed by my one and a half year old to my nearly five year old.

I've heard so many rave reviews of this book on message boards for parents who follow the Waldorf approach to early childhood. The illustrations are ok, cute pictures of small children participating in autumn activities. There is no story written here, only the one you create yourself while looking at the book with your children. The illustrations are ok, but I don't feel like they are so so wonderful as others have said. It is very short as well, so I'd have to say that it isn't worth the money. There are other autumn books that are more worth my time.

My son is being raised trilingual (my husband and I speak different languages, in addition to English). One of my biggest problems was reading books to my son - most books that he has are in English. I often would have to switch languages on him, when he'd bring me a book to read. These books, however, have no text, and the situations that they describe are universal - hence, perfect for multilingual kids. I can talk about the scenes in whatever language I am talking to the child at the time, and am also able to present the same set of words in different languages.
The pictures are very detailed and realistic. There's also a nice progression in each season depicted. For e.g, autumn starts with children harvesting apples and chestnuts, autumn showers, and then family time indoors and outdoors, making preserves, etc.
