From Booklist
Gr. 2-5, younger for reading aloud. This attractive companion to Autumn (1997) and Spring (1999) combines clever acrostic word poems with glowing linoleum-cut prints by Leslie Evans, one page for each letter of the alphabet. Caught by the word game of reading the letters vertically, children will also enjoy the simple physicality of the brief poems and the bright active pictures that capture the fun and beauty of the season. One of the best is Beach (Blankets and umbrellas / Endless miles of sand / And the / Constant^B /^B Hum of wind and waves"). There's a sense of the season's passing as yawls and sailboats are hauled out of the water, and the stars of autumn can be seen in the clear^B Zodiac of the sky. The setting is a cabin in the mountains close by a glittering blue lake, but the images reach out everywhere. Crossword buffs will enjoy the play and so will readers, writers, and artists in classrooms and libraries, especially in summer. Hazel Rochman
