Publisher Description
Fall is time for turning leaves,
The weather's growing cool.
Fall is here! Come on with me!
It's time to go to school.
In this exuberant sequel to Winter is for Snow, the two seasonally-opposed siblings face the end of summer with both joy and dread. But as Sister shares her enthusiasm for fall, school, and everything they encompass, Brother's own excitement grows in this celebratory picturebook. Robert Neubecker's expressive illustrations and buoyant rhymes will encourage even the most reluctant school-goers to embrace the start of a new season!
Praise for Winter is for Snow
"Neubecker's snow-laden illustrations are crammed with activity while also revealing a certain emotional thawing." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Neubecker's signature style and brightly colored illustrations are, as always, childcentered and detailed. A rhyming, rollicking salute to the coldest season." -- Booklist
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two siblings face off in another battle of the seasons in this banter-filled companion to Winter Is for Snow. This time, the girl sings the praises of fall (and school), while her older brother laments the end of summer. The girl's unflagging enthusiasm ("Fall is time for school!") is dismissed by the boy ("That really is uncool"), and their debate again unfolds through Neubecker's color-coordinated verse, which channels the energy of a poetry slam. For every school-related complaint lodged by the boy, his sister has a reality-disrupting example of all the knowledge that's in store for them: in one spread, "dinosaurs and carnivores" parade down the street, startling passersby, and in another, a rocket ship careens across the night sky. Regardless of seasonal (or scholastic) loyalties, siblings who don't always see eye to eye will be able to relate to this duo's back-and-forth. Ages 3 5.
