Colleen Driscoll’s Flora Finds Fall is a charming picture book. Flora wants to play. As she goes around talking to her animal friends, she discovers they are too busy to play with her since fall has come. Each animal gives a reason that it cannot play, disappointing Flora. Soon, she gets to the wise Mr. Owl, who helps teach her that fall is everything she is experiencing and so much more. Will Flora be able to find a way to play even in the fall?
Flora Finds Fall is a good way to teach kids about the fall season. Kindergarten and preschool teachers should make this book a classroom staple, and parents should add it to their home library. Not only does Colleen Driscoll use simple words and short sentences, but also her pictures show fall. The nature collages will also introduce young readers to a unique style of art, and they can easily be encouraged to make their own collages after reading this book. It is ideal for introducing extended learning activities such as a fall nature walk to see how many of the things in the book they can find in real life. This book was extremely enjoyable for me to read as an adult, and I could read it repeatedly to my young children. The pacing is great, and it shows many items children will recognize like leaves, pinecones, sticks, and acorns while introducing them to new items like squash soup and ginger. I highly recommend this book!
