Autumn with its riot of reds, oranges, and golds lends itself to glorious full color illustrations depicting the changes that take place during that time of year. Susan Swan brings young eyes a bounty of fall shades as she paints leaves falling from the trees, seeds falling from the last of the sunflowers, and apples falling from branches.

True to its title author Nidey mentions falling temperatures when youngsters reach for warmer clothes, and even football players falling into the end zone.

With autumn, of course, comes Halloween and festivals and the fun that accompanies each of these events.

"When Autumn Falls" is an eye catching way for very young readers to become familiar with and learn to appreciate this special time of year.

- Gail Cooke

The text of When Autumn Falls is simple but catchy, covering fall classics such as football, raking leaves, and falling temperatures. What really appealed to me though were the illustrations. The colors were as brilliant as the best autumn has to offer. The illustrations have a 3 D quality that really makes them pop out and grab your attention.
