As children jump into piles of leaves and help their parents rake the yard, they also wonder: Why do leaves change color? With bright illustrations from Loretta Krupinski and clear, simple text by Betsy Maestro, this book explains what happens to leaves in autumn. This informative concept book includes detailed pictures of leaves in different sizes, shapes, and colors and a list of activities that kids can do with leaves.

This is a Stage 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades. Let's-Read-And-Find-Out is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series.

We love this series: Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science. We homeschool, so this is a wonderful series for information gathering. Not only is the information easy to understand and apply, but a lot of the books include experiments or activities to reinforce the information. We check a lot of the series out at the library, but I'm glad to be adding a few of them to our home library.

Purchased to go along with our tree study unit for homeschooling. It's very informative but not overwhelmingly so. My 7 yr old enjoyed it. A great way to talk about the different types of leaves and trees and how the changing seasons affect them.

This book is the best one I have for autumn leaf studies with my young children! It's so engaging with great illustrations and accessible language! Worth every penny. My kids range from 2 to 5 years old but I feel this book will be revisited until at least 7 years old!
