An all time favorite with 4 year olds

I taught 4 year olds for 8 years. I can't remember when I first bought this book but it became an instant favorite. The children will ask to have it read to them many times a day and laugh hystericaly after each reading. By the end of October I was ready to put this book away but my class was not. My copy is getting worn out! This book is an all time favorite with 4 year olds.

Great for preschool age kids!

A simple concept (a tree going through the four seasons), straightforward and minimilistic writing, and relatively simple illustrations add up to one marvelously funny book! When I leafed through it, the rhyming text and interesting premise (that a tree could try out different colors and patterns of leaves) made me laugh. But when I read it to my daughter's preschool class, the kids roared with laughter each time I turned the page to show them another of this little tree's crazy variations. They loved it, and I bet most other 4-year-olds will, too.

This is a great book!

This book is a great book to show the changing of the seasons.. it has great illustrations... the pictures of the fall trees are very funny! My four year old loves this book!

Fall Is Not Easy

Fall Is Not Easy is a great book to help teach about the change of the seasons. The illustrations are wonderful. Marty Kelley has done a tremendous job with this book. This book is a must for all readers.

This is a hit with children!!!

Fall Is Not Easy is a humorous story about a tree's attempt at changing colors for fall. Some of the attempts include a smiley face design, then some odd designs, and then finally a pumpkin design, all made by the tree's colorful leaves. If you share this story with preschoolers, kindergarteners, first graders, or second graders, you will hear lots of laughter. Children of all ages seem to enjoy this story, recognize the seasonal changes, hear the rhyming patterns, and appreciate the outright humor. If you want children to have some fun, buy this book.
