In his third offering of seasonal poems, Florian makes the most of autumn's transitional nature, building his signature puns from both its dual name ("Autumn f a l l s in late September") and from such familiar features as falling leaves ("Tree-tice") and animal behavior ("Hi-bear-nation"). The illustrations are appropriately less effervescent than those for Summersaults, and please the eye with lively textures, bold design, and imaginative humor.
