Luke & Lottie. It's Fall (Luuk en Lotje)

Luke & Lottie - Fall Is Here is an exuberant children's book in the Luke & Lottie series; this time with a fall theme. Originally published in Dutch in 2016, this English translation from Clavis is due out 29th Sept 2020. It's 24 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

The art is whimsical and appealing (see cover), and the text is simple and easy to read. It's written in free verse in short sentences which will allow smaller children to follow along with the reading and allow older kids to practice reading on their own. The text flows very well and it doesn't read as if it's been translated. 
 
This would make a super choice for classroom/public library, home library, or gift. Really cute and I liked that Luke and Lottie have natural curiosity, and are eager to learn and explore their environments. 

The author and publisher have included a note at the beginning of the book that hedgehogs (part of the story) aren't native to North America. This will give an opportunity for further learning by searching for and learning about hedgehogs and other creatures' natural habitats and ranges. 

Five stars
