Book Description
for Autumnblings by Douglas Florian
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
It’s the end of baseball and the beginning of cool crisp nights, marked by the months Octobrrrrr, Novembrrrrr, and Decemberrrrr. Leaves fall, pumpkins grin, geese fly in a v-formation. It must be that season with two names: fall and autumn. Appropriately earth-toned watercolor and colored pencil illustrations are accompanied by 48 short poems that use Douglas Florian’s characteristic punning and concrete forms. A companion to Winter Eyes and Summersaults , Autumnblings leaves us looking forward to Florian’s spring poems. (Ages 4–8)
