Mac Barnett, Jon Klassen Now I See Autumn

Annotation

From multi-award winning, New York Times bestselling duo Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, Now I See Autumn is one in a unique quartet of board books that playfully shows the changing seasons through a child’s eyes. The house. The tree. The garden. Me. Sparse and rhythmic text invites readers to explore a farm setting through different seasons, gently introducing everyday words. Envisioned as a set that also can be read as standalone stories, each of the four books in this series has identical text but a different visual treatment to show the time of year. In autumn, the tree sheds its russet leaves, the sky turns pink and gold, a sweet treat is a caramel apple and the perfect hat is plaid with flaps to cover your ears. Now I See Autumn celebrates all the wonderful things about the season from a kid’s point of view – and why it’s their favourite time of year.
