Autumn has settled on the farm, but fallen leaves aren't the only signs of the season.  Find out what animals the kitten sees preparing themselves for winter.

Kitten's autumn

Kitten's Autumn by Eugenie Fernandes is the follow up to Kitten's Spring and Kitten's Summer. Done in a "multimedia collage" (see the Paper Tiger interview), the artwork has the clarity and depth of a diorama.

In the story, an adorable calico kitten takes a walk through the forest, observing the wildlife. The cat's explorations are recorded in rhyming quartets.

The language is sparse but poetic, easy enough for a beginning reader to handle but interesting enough to use in a group story time.
