Review "Seasons and related nature changes are interesting subjects for students to explore. This series is appealing with Amanda Enright's colorful, vivid illustrations. Beginning and struggling readers will like the short sentences and simple text by Martha Rustad. The information enhances student understanding of science concepts and the seasons, and listed recipes and activities will enable readers to actively learn about these topics.Teachers looking for science or season materials will find this series very useful for their classrooms." --Library Media Connection "In a series of books that describe all things about fall, Rustad provides a lively vehicle for extending readers' vocabulary. All of the books have a concluding activity to make or do. Animals presents an interesting experiment to explain the word 'blubber,' the fatty layer that ocean animals have, while Pumpkins delivers an easy-to-mix recipe for roasting pumpkin seeds. Leaves is outstanding for explaining the process of photosynthesis and chlorophyll in simple terms; Weather, for its clear description of seasons and the word 'equinox.' Apples is not so successful in elucidating how an apple seed grows into a tree, creating more questions than are answered. Harvest offers little new information about planting or reaping, and the directions for making a corn-husk doll are sketchy. Colorful illustrations fill the spreads with active, cartoonlike boys and girls surrounded by the green, brown, and orange hues of autumn. Select among the titles for topics of interest." --School Library Journal "When summer is over and we have enjoyed fresh tomatoes, corn, cantaloupes, and watermelon, we'll look forward to crisp, juicy fall apples of all varieties. In this book, the reader discovers how fall apples grow and the many things that you can make with them. This book is one in a series called Fall's Here!. Colorful illustrations enhance the lively text. The story begins with a family headed for a visit to the apple orchard to pick and taste apples. Crunch! The apple is sweet and juicy and there are seeds inside the core. The story continues with an explanation of how apples grow with the help of rain and sunlight. The book then goes on to discuss how we use apples. We can make apple pies, baked apples, and apple sauce or cider. The story explains how grinders smash the apples into pulp and then a press squeezes the pulp into cider. Cider can then be heated and filtered to make apple juice. A recipe for an upsidedown, inside out apple crisp is provided. There is also a glossary of terms used in the book and a list of other books and websites for further information about apples and how they grow. This picture book features child friendly text that is appropriate for grades K-3. Preschool aged children will enjoy looking at the pictures and having it read to them." --Science Books & Films About the Author Martha E. H.
