Mouse's First Fall

Lauren Thompson and Bucket Erdogan show what makes fall so much fun in Classic Board Book edition of Mouse's First Fall!

Children's Literature

One cool fall day, Mouse learns about fall. Earlier Mouse books have celebrated summer, spring, Christmas, snow, Halloween, Valentine's Day, and the first day of school. In the same spirit of finding joy and adventure in everyday experiences, Mouse and Minka discover the colors, shapes, and sounds of fall. Every page is filled with the warm, rich paintings of Buket Erdogan. New readers and pre-readers will be able to see the connections between the illustrations and words like round, skinny, pointy leaves, or leaves in which Mouse "ran and skipped and kicked and swished." Perfect for a read-aloud in class at home following by a walk in the woods!
