Author
and photographer, Robert Maass provides young readers with an autumn-inspired
alphabet book. Rich colors fill the
pages with images of the season as he draws upon themes of nature, family and
friends.
Some
of the images are to be expected -- A is for Apples, B is for Birds flying south. Other choices are more thought-provoking -- D
is for Daylight getting shorter. Not
every letter is autumn specific such as E is for Exercise, but even here the family
is shown biking along a road amid trees wearing their fall colors. As with many
alphabet books, X proves to be a challenge with the author opting for X is for
train tracks. Overall though, the book
is a visual pleasure and offers many opportunities for conversations about the
season.
