"Scarecrows, mums, / and wagon rides. / A corn maze we get lost inside!" Get into a fall mood with Kurilla's upbeat rhyming text and exuberant digitally rendered illustrations in a rich palette appropriately dominated by warm yellows, oranges, and reds. A diverse group of kids happily revels in the delights of the season, sharing favorite sights, sounds, smells, and activities. Varied compositions (double-page spreads, vignettes, etc.) capture the highlights: school buses, colorful leaves, pumpkin- and apple-picking, baking, trick-or-treating, geese flying south, Thanksgiving, and more. "Rake some crunchy leaves and-- / flop!"
