"Autumnblings" is collection of poems written and illustrated by Douglas Florian. The intended age group of this book is primary ages five through eight. The book is poetry about autumn and the changes that happen in the season. There are 48 poems accompanying descriptive paintings. My favorite poem in this collection is "What I Love About Autumn" because it reminds me of all the things I love about fall. I like how Douglas Florian uses form to create meaning with the words in his books. This is...more
this book may be a little old for my 20-30 month olds, but some of the poems definitely fit our fall theme, whereas other may be about things they don't recognize yet, such as baseball or soccer. The pictures should hold their attention, and I definitely plan to read them the poems that involve colors, repetition, and counting. And since these poems all rhyme, that will for sure appeal to my students.
25 months - O is really not into poetry, as I found out this month when I borrowed 3-4 books from the library. But this book of poems did remind her of the seasons and she's talking about them again. There were 2 or 3 poems that I really enjoyed and the others were just ok. We will have to revisit this one in the fall next year.
another seasonal poetry book by florian.
-this book was the book of the month at my internship school, and it's better for older children (3rd-5th).
-great illustrations, has a lot of play on words and fun to read or use the poems in your classroom.

A great collection of poems for younger children. Makes a perfect kick off to the fall season!! The poems are also very playful and whimsical and written in a language that speaks to the kid set.
Poet Florian is amazing in everything he does. Autumblings is no exception. Poems such as "Hi-bear-nation" are hilarious! His poetry is kid-friendly, humorous and highly storytime readable.
I love this book! It is great to read during the Autumn Season, and it has really good examples of poetry that you could use for examples with your children when they write.
Love this book. Love Douglas Florian's poems and paintings for kids and kids at heart. I'm reading poetry with art for inspiration. I highly recommend to read and/or purchase.
Wonderful book to teach students about the different types of poetry. This book has a great collection of poems for younger children. Amazing book to kick off the fall season. The poems are also very playful and written in a language that speaks to the kid.
Concrete poem, alliteration, onomatopoeia etc.
Poem: Pumpkins Grin
Fun, fall, festive.
Although this is a children's book, I found this collection of poems about the fall season to be surprisingly charming! Fun illustrations too!
Get this one again next Fall. Great fun.
Collection of poems sharing the sights, sounds and activities of autumn. Colorful illustrations accompany each poem.
