I think everyone remembered to change back their clocks as we had great groups of kids at Monday storytimes!

Book: Fall Leaves Fall! by Zoe Hall
Rhyme: Four Little Leaves
Four little leaves hanging from a tree,
Looking lovely as can be.
Whoosh went the wind and one leaf said,
"I'll meet you on the ground. I'm the color red."
Three little leaves hanging from a tree,
Looking lovely as can be.
Whoosh went the wind and another fell down.
This little leaf was the color brown.
Two little leaves hanging from a tree,
Looking lovely as can be.
Whoosh went the wind. Oh my, it was cold!
Another leaf fell: it was the color gold.
One little leaf hanging from a tree,
Looking lovely as can be.
Whoosh went the wind and it started to sway.
But it was still green, so it had to stay.

Song: Leaves Come Falling Down (tune: Shoo Fly)
Red leaves,
Come falling down.
Orange leaves,
Come falling down.
Brown leaves,
Come falling down.
Show us autumn's come to town.
