Readers both young and young at heart will delight in this lovely, whimsical tale." - BookBub "This book combines patterns with some classic onomatopoeia to create a very silly story that your kids are sure to enjoy. And it's perfect for the whole season! While a lot of fall books stick strictly to Halloween, this includes the sights and sounds of fall itself -- which we love best of all."
