Fall Ball — Peter McCarty

Bobby and his friends wait all day for school to end and for their chance to play outdoors in the fall weather. Flying leaves, swirling colors, and crisp air make the perfect setting for a game of football with Sparky the dog.

The kids are surprised by how quickly it gets dark, and even more surprised when it begins to snow. But there's no need to worry -- the chilly nights ahead will mean watching football on the couch with family, tucked under a cozy blanket.
