Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn (Kenard Pak's Changing Seasons)

This is our favorite of Kenard Pak’s seasonal series! The artwork is wonderful, and the story is gentle, cozy, and educational. Our go-to autumn book!

Captive book for a toddler lesson on the seasons. They enjoyed saying the chant with me. I love the pictures.

I teach multiply-handicapped students. The stark visual contrast is perfect for my students with vision loss. The vibrant colors are attractive to my students with a hearing loss. The pattern book helps keep all of their attention.

Gorgeous visuals and nice timely story.

I absolutely love the changing seasons from summer into fall. GOODBYE SUMMER, HELLO AUTUMN captures some of the things I love about the changing of the seasons, perfectly. Both in story telling, and vivid fall colored illustrations, Pak helps readers understand the changing of the warm summer days, into the chilly shorter fall days. Joining the young girl on her walk from her house, through the woods and country, and into her small town, and back again, readers see how nature prepares itself for the change from summer to autumn. As the girl welcomes the changes, she's greeted by nature, who tells her of each change. From the fox getting ready to hibernate, to the last of the summer flowers, to the chilly wind, everything has a purpose. With bright colorful changes on the trees, flowers and leaves, to the animals and bugs making preparations for cooler weather, readers see how everything gets ready for fall. This is a delightful story with charming illustrations. I love the diverse characters featured in this book, and all the details featured in each of the pages of this book. This book is perfect for curling up with on a cooler fall day.

I love this book’s illustrations and mood, and my son really loves it too! He’s 3 and really understood the concept of summer turning to fall because of this book! He kept asking “is it autumn day yet?” and really notices trees changing color etc. now. It’s simple enough for his age, but has more detail and depth than a lot of children’s books. Beautifully done!

Overall we enjoyed this book. The details were beautiful and the book was written in a way that a group of children of multiple ages would understand or be able to interpret from the graphics. In some ways though, I thought this book was a little more on the simpler side for my children, compared to our usual stories, but they still enjoyed it. They just didn't love it.

This book is beautifully illustrated and is the perfect level for a budding reader. My young reader likes it a lot and it has become a returning favorite.

Total schön. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Love this book, my 3 year old loves it as well, the illustrations are beautiful and the story prompts a lot of questions from my daughter. What a great way to talk about season changing in story form. Highly recommend!

Love this! I figured since it was an American book and fall had been changed to autumn in the title, that the spelling inside would be the same. Did notice colour was written as color, just for parents to be mindful if they are wanted correct uk English grammar etc! Didn’t bother us as I’m the reader to my daughter in our house as she’s still little!

Les imatges són molt boniques i expliquen el pas del temps entre dues estacions. Pots aprofundir i anar explicant els detalls que van sortint al llarg de la història. Intentarem comprar la resta de la col.lecció.
