Tells why fall is important and tell what is happening during this season.

In my opinion, the book "Who Loves the Fall?" by Bob Raczka is a really great book for younger students. Personally, I love books that are about the different seasons because oftentimes they give you ideas or facts about it that you may not have known before reading the book. Overall, this book gave ideas about who likes the fall and what different people do during the season. The simplicity of the words on the page would be appealing to a younger audience (K-2) and the illustrations perfectly showed the action or person that the text was describing. For example, one page says "bonfire builders," and is accompanied by an illustration that covers the entire page of a family roasting marshmallows while the dad brings wood for the fire. Another feature I really enjoyed about this book was that the back has a section called "Fall Facts," which includes words or concepts that the reader might be unfamiliar with. One of these words is "hibernate." Since this book only has 2-3 words per page, it is important that the reader understand each one, and this section in the back really help students who aren't familiar with these words. Students also may be able to relate to this book since it has a variety of fall activities and traditions they might be familiar with, and if some students cannot relate, they can be introduced to some of these ideas as well allowing it to appeal to a broad audience. The big idea of this book was to show different activities that can be done in the fall and different people or animals that enjoy the fall as well. ( )
