Red, Yellow, and Orange! Hello, Autumn!

Autumn is here, and soon you'll notice the trees putting on a colorful show. Leaves turn bright shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown as trees get ready for winter.

Animals are busy, too. Squirrels gather nuts, birds fly south, and some animals find cozy places to rest during the colder months.

Take a walk outside and see how many fall colors you can spot. Look for acorns, pinecones, and crunchy leaves along the way.

Have you ever wondered, "Why do leaves change color?" or "Why do some animals hibernate?" Fall is full of amazing science waiting to be discovered.

Check out these children's books to explore the wonders of autumn and uncover the science behind the season!
