Linda Bleck.
Combining science and social studies, this book presents a basic explanation of seasons, then describes worldwide autumnal equinox and harvest celebrations. While the text is reductive in places, the stylized folk-art-style paintings relay an overall feel for the joyful celebrations. The oddly indented formatting makes the text look like it should be in verse. Some experiments and activities are included. Reading list, websites.
