Reviews for Fall Mixed Up

[sullywriter_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Fun read aloud for the autumn season.

[mrsbond_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Through loose verse Raczka ushers readers through a most unusual fall. Kids will enjoy finding all of the "errors" throughout the text and illustrations. Look forward to sharing this with students in the fall!

With a rhyming text from author Bob Raczka and bright, colorful artwork from illustrator Chad Cameron, this fun seasonal picture-book presents a rather mixed-up vision of fall. From orange apples and red pumpkins to hibernating geese and nut-gathering bears, there are plenty of mistakes here, both in text and illustrations, giving the young reader/listener plenty of opportunities to spot what's wrong...

An entertainingly interactive title, Fall Mixed Up would make a wonderful book to read with a young child who enjoys 'search and find' stories, or any other kind of book where the reader and listener get involved more directly in figuring out what is going on. The rhyming text itself reads well, and the artwork is full of the wonderful colors of fall, even when some objects are not the shade one might expect. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for more interactive autumn stories.

This was an outstanding book, I did a book share using this book and it was a hit with the second graders I was working with!

Raczka writes and draws fall that is filled with boo-boos. This book has an I Spy kind of fun, looking on every page for the mistakes.

“Apples turn orange.
Pumpkins turn red.
Leaves float up into
blue skies overhead.”

This might be a fun book for teachers to use with their classes. What’s wrong here?
