Fancy Nancy and the Fall Foliage by Jane O'Connor -- ADVISABLE

O'connor, Jane Fancy Nancy and the Fall Foliage, illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser and Carolyn Bracken. PICTURE BOOK. Harper Festival, 2014. $4.99. Content: G.

Autumn has arrived, and Nancy and her family are enjoying the weather as they rake the leaves -- setting aside a few of the prettiest ones for a festive project, of course.

Nancy's enthusiasm is contagious, as usual, making this book a fun way to celebrate the changing seasons. Her vocabulary is particularly fun in this volume, with such words as 'foliage,' 'burgundy,' and 'unique,' and the section where she brainstorms fun activities to do with fallen leaves may inspire a few art projects for creative readers. Also contains a sheet of fall-themed stickers.

Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Caryn
