Publisher's Note
One brief acrostic poem for each letter of the alphabet from acorn to zero follows the fall season from end of summer to chilly conclusion.

Twenty-six short poems, one for each letter of the alphabet, celebrate the autumn season from glowing late summer (Acorn) to snowy winter (Zero), evoking frosty mornings, apple harvests, cozy clothes, and brilliant foliage. When read vertically, each poem reveals a playful acrostic, making every handsomely designed page a double treat for the eye. Full color.

Industry Reviews
"Evan's pictures, executed in hand-colored linoleum cuts, are full of saturated colors with an elegant use of the black line of that medium. Accessible and intimate, they depict people, animals, household objects, and outdoor scenes; warm and cozy, they complement and further define this friendly read-aloud."
