This is a wonderful book. It is the perfect combination of text book and picture book. The author, Fran Hawks, uses a rhythmic verse about leaves, trees and creatures to count down from ten to one. The illustator, Sherry Neidigh, creates brilliant, stimulating scenes to capture the eye. I can't wait to share it with my preschool grandchildren. For older children, it contains a section "For Creative Minds" with activities such as matching that are very educational. If you purchase the book, you are released to make copies of the worksheets for teaching tools. I highly recommend this book to educators (and grandmas).
This is such a great book for counting, leaf exploration, conversations about Fall, forest animals. It has beautiful illustrations too. I use it in my preschool class and follow up with our own counting and patterning with leaves, acorns, pine cones, etc. Also follow up with a Fall walk/collecting and an art project. This book can be the base for so many Fall activities!
#1 Book out there for Fall & Autumn! Even though we do not have children, I still display it during the autumn notes, and love to look over the gorgeous drawings --- Hands down, this would make an exceptional purchase for your own child, or to give as a gift, or to set up on display as I have!
My 3 year old son really enjoyed counting the leaves, and looking at the animals in the pictures. I really appreciated the quality of the illustrations. I think we'll be reading this one a lot more than once...
Purchased at a national park gift shop. The kids love it. This is a favorite read several times a week. Wonderful to see my children at the park in search of the leaves and seeds they have discovered in this book. So pleased we purchased a copy as a gift for teacher's classroom library.
What is your favorite time of year? For many people, and perhaps plants and animals too, it is fall. Begin with ten sweet gum leaves, then go through nine dogwood leaves, eight beech leaves, seven pine cones, six linden leaves, five chestnut leaves, four oak leaves, three maple leaves, and two birch leaves, and finally end up with one quaking aspen leaf. Through Fran Hawk's poetic text youngsters will be introduced to the idea of counting down from ten, and from Sherry Neidigh's true-to-life illustrations they will also be able to see various kinds of trees and learn how to identify them by the shapes of their leaves, along with the raccoons, opossums, cats, squirrels, bears, turtles, chipmunks, owls, deer, and beavers that need the trees to live.The "For Creative Minds" section at the back of Count Down to Fall has several activities related to plant parts, leaf shapes, and the ways in which leaves change color in the fall, as well as further information on how both animals and people depend on plants. As with other Sylvan Dell books, there are "Related Websites," "Interactive Quizzes," and other "Teaching Activities" on the website to help parents and educators expand the learning possibilities. This is a wonderful way for students to learn about how plants and animals prepare for the approaching winter chill.
This is a great fall book. A perfect simple book about trees. Just what we have been looking for. We love how each page has the tree, a summer leaf and a fall leaf and its fruit. It has nice clear, beautifully drawn, pictures of the trees. To add to it there are great little rhymes for each page and charming animals hidden all over. My nature loving boys, 6 and 9, love it.
Gorgeous illustrations coupled with engaging verse make a "must have" book. Count Down to Fall has been a hit with all in my family, and it's now a favorite for gift-giving.
