What can Fletcher do to save them? he tries everything..and when the leaf fall off, Fletcher feels sad… until he suddenly returns the next day to a pretty sight. This book will have your little one feeling hopeful and able to accept changes.

Review: "Funny and sweet story which addresses the misconception that lots of children have about trees "dying" in winter. We had lots of fun reading this and the children made some beatiful oil pastel tree art based on the illustrations."

Isn’t it amazing how leaves change their colour, animals fly high in the sky and get ready to keep warm and hibernate. In this book your little one will be able to explore how beautiful Autumn really is and its facts.

Review: "Beautifully illustrated book for preschool and infant school aged children. My daughter used the pictures and words as inspiration for poetry homework. There wasn't much in the way of facts that older children wouldn't already know and it’s not in-depth. More of a great book to flick through and talk about especially with younger ones."

There were loads of lovely leaves on his tree, but now some are missing, and Squirrel is adamant that someone has stolen them, but who could it be? there's a leaf thief on the loose and Squirrel is going to find them! Embark on a journey with Squirrel and find out who it is, a great book to teach your child how to identify different animals and colours. 

Review: "There are a few collections from different authors I love for my son for a bedtime story (as opposed to daytime fun books). This was one of my two favourites. The other book in this collection is as good too. Great illustrations, lovely story, back and forth with the characters and little bit at the back for teaching purposes, for when they are at an age to understand the message in it."

As the warm breeze turns colder and the leaves change their colours - it means autumn is on on the way. With this great picture book, you'll be able to join a young girl as she takes a stroll through a forest and town, saying hello to the coming season.

Review: My seven year old niece really enjoyed this book and called me to read some out to me!"

This cute book, aimed at 1 - 3 year olds, will have your child find out and and explore the rare character of autumn, through outside and inside play. A perfect book to teach your little one seasons of the year.

Review: "I love these books because they introduce the seasons in sensory descriptive ways like wrapping up in a cosy fleece, collecting acorns, kicking crunchy leaves, picking juicy blackberries, baking warm tarts, making art. It's just a beautiful introduction to Autumn. My daughters loved this book so much that I've ve just bought the winter book from the same author and I plan to buy the spring and summer books too."

This book, perfect for little hands, is a high-contrast book that features amazing and eye-catchy images of autumn. Great for babies, celebrating their first ever autumn, and helps them with visual stimulation and boosts creativity in their minds.

As the beautiful Summer weather passed the baton to Autumn, a season of a mixture of colours and non-stopping adventures. A bunch of friends are getting ready to pick berries, leaf jumping and sightseeing in the gloomy forest, but Autumn is worried. The question is, what will it take to show to himself that he is bolder than he really thinks? 

Review: We have enjoyed the Best Friends with Big Feelings books over the year as they released in time with the seasons, which makes sense as each is about a different season. The books start with one child passing on their adventure to the next as one season bleeds into the next. Spring is down as book two, Winter book four, but you can read them in any order, or just wait to read them when the season is right. The story is gentle and makes a nice bedtime story, a little bit of trepidation, but more of a gentle look at what makes a particular season unique. It is full of the classic stereotypes kids can recognise from baby animals or snow."

This book is simply just fun. It comes with Autumn and Fall themed pages that contain letters and pictures. Children will be able to play a fun-filled game called “I Spy My Little Eye” where they’ll need to choose characters or objects connected to the letter they're on, and colouring each different artwork.
