Jump In The Leaf Pile by Kelly Green
Product details
Web ID: 19844338Wonderfully fun!
My thirteen-month-old LOVES this book! We leave it on a side table in the living room and he grabs it and brings it to us to read at least twice a day. Other times, he just wants to play with shaking the book to make the leaves pop out. The story is very short and sweet, and the sounds included in each scene are so fun! We are super dramatic reading those and our son laughs! Such a great book for a kiddo in the fall! I can't wait for him to read it again once he knows his colors and can play along with the book's guidance to find certain colors on each page. We only wish it was longer! :)

Energetic, inspiring, and color identification too
The fun of jumping into leaves meets color identification in a cute read with a little added fun. This board book is pretty sturdy with rounded edges to make it suited for smaller hands. The illustrations are bright and bold, showcasing Autumn scenes with joyful and diverse characters. Energetic vibes come from each page as well as hints of friendship and enjoyment outdoors. Add the cute animals and little details in the background, and it's warming to flip through and enjoy each one. Each spread has a playful phrase with sound words to inspire readers to 'read along' after a few visits and add to the fun. These are easy to understand and work well for the age group. Then, there's a question, where readers are to try to find objects of a mentioned color, all in the Fall direction. These could be many things located everywhere in the illustrations, which adds to the searching excitement and gives even multiple readers a chance to point something out. Lastly, there's a sentence, asking readers to make a motion with the page (book) which will send out an illustrated leaf pile from the edge of the book. This matches the mentioned color. These are created with a thicker cardboard, which slides out from a space between the pages with a little shaking. These are not visible with a tab but are tucked away and only come out with some shaking. It's a super cute idea and adds a new dimension to the leaf fun. Unfortunately, one shake means the leaves from all pages peek out, but that's not really a problem either. It just means a little more shaking. We've had to read it a few times because it's a quick, easy book and does put a smile on the face. I received a complimentary copy and love the mix of outdoor inspiration and color knowledge.
