Little Elliot, Fall Friends
GODWIN BOOKS, MACMILLAN
IT'S AUTUMN in the Big City! Little Elliot and Mouse love the hustle and bustle of the city streets. But sometimes it feels like there are too many people, too many noises―just too much! The best friends decide to get out of town for a vacation in the countryside. There, they'll discover the sights and smells of autumn in the country. Everything is more fun when shared with a friend!
"Curato’s lush illustrations revel in the calm of rural expanses..., creating a sense of palpable relief as the friends relax. Never underestimate the power of a getaway to rejuvenate one’s spirits and friendships." Publishers Weekly
"...[Y]oung readers will enjoy tracking the friends’ bucolic autumnal escape (lolling under apple boughs, frolicking in leaf piles, crawling through logs, hiding in pumpkin patches)...A yummy, happy resolution—perfectly delectable to the preschool crowd." Kirkus
"This charming celebration of friendship (and fall) deepens with each rereading." Booklist
