Mouse’s First Fall

By Lauren Thompson

One cool day Mouse and Minka venture out to play. From leaves of all colors—red, yellow, orange to brown—to leaves of all shapes and sizes—Mouse learns what makes fall such a special season! Before their fun, fall day is over, Mouse takes a big “leap!”

This classic fall book can be used in speech therapy to address colors, numbers, shapes and adjectives. It is also great for noticing illustrations and for targeting verbs as well as for /m/, /s/, /k/, /l/, /v/ and /z/ sounds!
