Good job Stephen Schnur! And my compliments to Leslie Evans the illustrator! These two did an impressive job of staying on topic with this acrostic about the fall!

My only complaint....the letter X! Okay, okay, I get it...there are not a lot of x words out there...let alone ones that pertain to the fall, but XYLEM?! Try pronouncing and explaining that one without your dictionary!!!

A beautiful, beautiful book! In words and in illustrations. We loved reading this and feeling autumn-y, even though none of these things are happening right now in Hawaii! We long for fall...and this book helped!

This was such a thoughtfully written book... loved the acrostics. The children enjoyed taking turns with each acrostic... I helped my 4-year old and he really liked participating. Great book!

Book of acrostics all about fall--each poem is really beautiful in my opinion and it was a really nice introduction for my children before writing their own acrostics. LOVE this book!

Lovely pictures, poems not half bad. My emerging reader enjoyed sounding out the words the first letters spelled.
