All of Kit Allen's book have to do with touch and greatly relate to seasons and what is appropriate for that time of year

Extension Activities:
-Name things that you associate with fall? Make a list of at least twenty and draw a thumbnail picture for each. See how many kids pick things that associate with this book. This book is a great example of what is appropriate in fall and what kind of activities happen at that time of year.
-How well do the illustrations go along with the book. The illustrations are pretty simple, could you draw them any better or more detailed? Assign each child a page and see if they can fit more detail into the page.
