[Review] In the Autumn Forest by Daniela Kulot
This book is a simple celebration of autumn. The fantastic art really carries the story with both its accurate portrayals of fall and the animated expressions of the characters.

This book is a sweet celebration of community. It's also a gentle reminder that when you don't know something, sometimes it's best just to ask.

This book filled me with wonder. It is a magical celebration of pagan traditions (many of which are reflected in our modern holidays). I adored the art and found the simple storytelling to be a perfect vehicle for learning about the changing of the seasons and the celebrations that surround them.

This is a very clever alphabet book. Not only does it go through various letters of the alphabet, but this book also makes use of alliteration to further reinforce each letter—a skillful linguistic choice that really sets this book apart from most alphabet books.

This book has the benefit of teaching children about two diverse subjects: dogs and space. My favorite fact—how deep underground dogs can sense water. That one blew my mind!

This book does a very thorough job of covering seed dispersal. It is conceptually simple, with straightforward language and illustrations which help to convey the key concepts.

Light playful art, and snarky but fun poems about childhood. There are some fun Shel Silverstein vibes in this one. It is perhaps a bit more linguistically simple than Silverstein (less metaphor, analogy, personification, etc), but the lightheartedness and mischievousness are still there in full force.

This is a great book for any young gardener, as it introduces them to some lesser-known Asian veggies.

Each letter of the alphabet has a space term associated with it, along with a brief description of that word. There was also a question for the reader, related to each term.

A cute and educational story. I really loved the incorporation of evolutionary science into the story. It's a great way to learn.

I love this! This is a book about embracing your true self and not succumbing to the pressures of conformity. It's also an empowering message about the impact a single person can make when they embrace their differences.

A sweet book about loss, gardening, and friendship. I definitely recommend this for any kids that like gardening, or to any whose best friend just moved away.
