Those are such good drawings!
Lilly, age 7 We love Autumn in the Forest! The beautiful watercolor illustrations are whimsical while staying recognizable, and the rhyming, repetitive text will be so captivating and memorable for children. When we read stories we love to invite movement, and there is so much movement to notice in autumn that this book explores. At the Hitchcock Center we love paying close attention to the changes of seasons, and what better way to do that than through the eyes of the local animals that share our home. Bravo!
Sincerely, Katie, Colleen, and Helen Ann (a few Hitchcock educators) Children + Family Programs Coordinators Hitchcock Center for the Environment Amherst, MA 01002 Catch Christine Selling her books at the Fall Festival in Turners Falls on October 23rd!
