Raczka shares a silly look at a well-known time of year. His tale encourages laughter and crowd interaction as readers find what is wrong and right with this season.
Possible storytime themes: fall, opposite day, silly

A fun book for Fall and a great book for elementary kids. They have a fun time figuring out all the wrong and mixed up things in the story and the illustrations. If you are doing it as a read aloud, make sure you practice as some words don't want to roll of the tongue (i.e. Nocember).

This book talks about all of the wonderful things that happen in fall, from holidays to traditions to weather. The narrator seems to be a little mixed up though and he can't seem to get all of his facts straight. The book is a fun way to discuss fall and all of its wonderful aspects with your child, especially when the book acknowledges that it may have gotten some facts wrong at the end and asks you to go back and check everything. The illustrations are witty and detailed and the book begs for rereading.

This book would be very confusing for young children. I think a child would have to be in school before it made too much sense. But it is fun because everything is changed around such as bears gathering nuts, geese hibernating, and squirrels flying south.

Through loose verse Raczka ushers readers through a most unusual fall. Kids will enjoy finding all of the "errors" throughout the text and illustrations. Look forward to sharing this with students in the fall!

I can't wait for all the children at storytime to FREAK out over these bizarre, jumbled illustrations. The book's humorous inconsistencies will strengthen narrative awareness and create potential for conversation.
