- In a dilemma, it is helpful to change any variable, then reexamine the problem

- Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.

- When life gives you a dilemma, make dilemma-nade.

- Anger Is A Sign That Something Needs To Change.

This chapter book reveals and shares several adventures of Lionel during the season of fall. How he copes with the first day of school when he meets his new teacher. How he finishes his chore of raking leaves with the help of his friend Jeffery, and how he chased a dragoon on Halloween, that was always one step ahead of him.

I liked this. I think Lionel might be relatable to not sensitive children. He doesn't like getting up in front of his class and talking about himself, and his teacher handles his outburst with admirable deftness.

A book my 6 yr old loved, a little old for my preschoolers. A solid reading level 3 book, this reader has a good amount of advanced vocabulary words, but not so long that it discourages a new reader. Used it for his read out loud book, which was perfect. It took about 15 mins for him to read and had just enough new vocabulary words to make it challenging. Also, it was a fun and interesting story he could get into. He liked it so much, he asked for more by this author. Great reading book!

This is a great transitional chapter book that shows multiple lessons. The story demonstrates many situations young children have to face, such as: first days of school, talking in front of everyone, and even chores.

This is the "longest" book that has ever held Faith's attention. It's a reader with three chapters! Will definitely check out more of this series.

A nice chapter book about Lionel going back to school, accepting that he and his friends had grown, going trick or treating, raking leaves, etc.
