Maybe I'm not artsy enough to understand it, but I didn't get it。 There's no words and the pictures don't seem to go together。 Maybe I'm not artsy enough to understand it, but I didn't get it。 There's no words and the pictures don't seem to go together。 。。。more

I wish there were some words to accompany the pictures。 And some more autumn-specific activities。

Makes me think of Gyo Fujikawa's children (e。g。, Oh, What a Busy Day!) when they have grown a bit older。 Makes me think of Gyo Fujikawa's children (e。g。, Oh, What a Busy Day!) when they have grown a bit older。 。。。more

A group of rural children enjoy the beauty of autumn in this charming wordless board book from Dutch picture-book creator Gerda Muller。 Walking in the rain, playing in the leaves, flying a kite - there are many pleasures to be had in the fall。。。Originally published in the Netherlands as Herfst, this is one of a collection of four board books from Muller, each devoted to a different season。 Each title - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter - was published separately in this wordless edition A group of rural children enjoy the beauty of autumn in this charming wordless board book from Dutch picture-book creator Gerda Muller。 Walking in the rain, playing in the leaves, flying a kite - there are many pleasures to be had in the fall。。。Originally published in the Netherlands as Herfst, this is one of a collection of four board books from Muller, each devoted to a different season。 Each title - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter - was published separately in this wordless edition by Edinburgh-based Floris Books, while all four were combined by New York-based Dutton Children's Books as Circle of Seasons, with text added by Lucia Monfried。 I have not read the Monfried title, but given my enjoyment of these individual board books, am becoming quite curious about it。 Autumn is a lovely book, although American readers should note that given the Dutch cultural context of the book, some of the festivals we associate with this time of year - Halloween and Thanksgiving in particular - are not depicted。 Leaving that aside (and it is not a criticism, just an observation), Muller's artwork here captures all the joy of this particular season。 Recommended, together with its companions, to anyone looking for board books about the seasons, as well as to those who enjoy wordless picture-books。 。。。more

Beautiful。 Love it。 So much to look at and discuss。 Has a place on our new nature table。

A board book with no text but beautifully observed illustrations looking in on the daily lives of young children enjoying outdoor activities and nature。We love the seasons, playing and discovering outdoors and Gerda Muller's illustrations so this one is an all time favourite for us。 Scenes from autumn days, harvesting apples, gathering conkers, children in wellies and raincoats sailing boats in puddles。 Mushroom hunting, making blackberry jam, admiring autumn leaves and gourds。 The book ends wit A board book with no text but beautifully observed illustrations looking in on the daily lives of young children enjoying outdoor activities and nature。We love the seasons, playing and discovering outdoors and Gerda Muller's illustrations so this one is an all time favourite for us。 Scenes from autumn days, harvesting apples, gathering conkers, children in wellies and raincoats sailing boats in puddles。 Mushroom hunting, making blackberry jam, admiring autumn leaves and gourds。 The book ends with a hedgehog curling up to go into hibernation -perfect。 。。。more

I don't know if you can really consider that I read this b/c it is just full of beautiful drawings。 We do, however, discuss all that we see in the pictures。 This is a beautifully drawn book。 I don't know if you can really consider that I read this b/c it is just full of beautiful drawings。 We do, however, discuss all that we see in the pictures。 This is a beautifully drawn book。 。。。more

Arianna recieved this book for her first birthday, and it quickly became a favorite。 This was the first book she ever really would just sit there and look at for minutes on end by herself。 It doesn't have any words, just beautiful pictures of children playing and doing different autumnal activities。 Wonderful!
