Marilyn Courtot - Children's Literature
As with the other books in the "Months of the Year" series, Brode introduces young readers to some of the characteristics, events and activities in the month of October. First, readers learn that it is the tenth month of the year and that it has 31 days. October is a fall month and in more temperate areas of the country, leaves fall off the trees. It may be a time for a walk in the woods, raking up the fallen leaves and also having fun jumping in the piles that have been created. The weather is usually cooler and outdoor activities such as bike riding are great fun at this time of year. October is also host to one of kids' favorite holidays-Halloween. Some kids carve pumpkins, others may dress up in costumes for parades or for trick-or-treating. The month of October is followed by November and that means cooler weather is about to come. Throughout the text there are pages of full-color photographs showing kids engaged in many of the activities described. A calendar showing the months of the year and the seasons wraps up the text. Some of the pages have rhetorical questions, which, rather than making it interactive, take away from the book. There is a three-word glossary. 2003, Weekly Reader,
