Beret Girl With a Basket of Mushrooms and a Bunny

A smiling girl in a beret with wavy hair stands beside a big woven basket filled with mushrooms, holding one more mushroom up in her other hand. She wears a vest with a little pocket, a pleated skirt, a zigzag-patterned long-sleeved top, slouchy leg warmers and lace-up sneakers. A bunny stands on its hind legs at the left, hugging a mushroom of its own. Behind them is a bare tree with a birdhouse, and four birds flutter overhead while maple and round leaves drift down and pile up along the grass at the bottom. Try coloring the leaves in reds, oranges and yellows, then give the mushroom caps different browns. It also works well as a prompt for kids to talk about what people and animals find in the woods in autumn. Print as many copies as you need for a class or a rainy afternoon.
