Summary:
Autumn, an alphabet book of acrostics with linoleum-cut prints, describes the seasonal sights, sounds, and colors.

Teaching Ideas:
These acrostics make excellent models for students because they demonstate a fluid, rhythmic, and figurative use of language. Learners could collect pictures from magazines or from your community, brainstorm for a different season, brainstorm words, list them alphabetically, and use them as the basis for creating new acrostics.
