A REMINDER OF EARTH'S BEAUTY

We're reminded of the beauty of a New England autumn by the warm russet dappled illustrations by James Ransome and the interplay between two brothers as they witness the reactions of tourists or, as they call them, "Leaf Peepers." In the fall it's Jim and Andy's job to help their Dad get their small green bus out of the shed and spend their weekends helping with the loads of tourists who come to see the gorgeous red and yellow leaves. The bus is always full, which is good, but Jim and Andy can surely think of better things to do. Sometimes they get a little over zealous in imitating what they call "Peeper talk," after all, they can't see anything so amazing about the ponds, trees, and changing leaves. Or, can they? Once again, the perspicacious Eve Bunting reminds of what is important and beautiful on this amazing planet Earth. - Gail Cooke

Autumn Delight

James Ransome's wonderful illustrations make this Eve Bunting book a delight! A great read-aloud for my fourth grade class, we have become "peepers" at school, and have created an autumn leaf tree display in our classroom. Now, my students join the other peepers in "Ooh's and Aah's".
