In this companion to Spring Things, spare rhyming text answers the title question, and the book ends with another question: "Don't you love the fall?" The answers are clever ("Rakers, leapers, corn-crop reapers. / Growers, pickers, taffy lickers"), and appended "fall facts" provide more specific information. Warmly colored illustrations and a varied design complement and extend the read-aloud-ready text.
