Flashback Tuesday: Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert

During my walk this morning I saw my very first Autumn colored trees.  The colors reminded me that summer is over and that fall has begun, even if it is a tad warm outside.

Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf by Lois Ehlert is such a classic book for this time of year.  I always loved the colors  and the way it teaches the life cycle of a tree with simple words and beautiful photos.  I love books that teach in an interesting way.  I always thought this was one of those perfect books that has something for everyone. I know so many teachers that have used this in their classroom but I think it is great for a parent to read too....a must have fall book.
