Fall Leaves Change Colors (Scholastic Science Readers: Level 1)

The Story

This book is a simple explanation of how green leaves change colors. Watch as the leaves soak up water, take in carbon dioxide, and absorb the sun's rays -- all to make food! As the hours of daylight shorten, the tree makes less food, and leaves begin to die. The chlorophyll in the leaves fades away, and their colors change to reds, yellows, and oranges that signal the arrival of Autumn.
