Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-23 00:00:00 Ian Porter Another book in Margaret Hillert's beginning reader series, It's Fall, Dear Dragon explores the activities associated with Autumn. While a boy attends school, his pet dragon must wait outside, but on their walk home they spy some geese flying south for the winter. Once home, they rake the autumn leaves having fun jumping into the pile they have created. Afterwards, while accompanying Mother to the grocery store, they stop to scrutinize a display of seasonable fruit and vegetables. Before bed, Father helps his son carve a Jack O'Lantern from the recently purchased pumpkin. At the end of the day, the boy and his pet look out the window and spy a full moon causing the boy to gush that he is so glad he has a friend like Dear Dragon. Using easily recognizable sight vocabulary featuring the phonemes f and v, there is an alphabetical list of the 75 vocabulary words as well as suggestions for parents to assist in reading with their child including questions for comprehension and reading strategies for fluency. These useful activity pages were created by Shannon Cannon while the charming illustrations visually enhancing the text are drawn by David Schimmel. Thank you to Netgalley and Norwood House Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Four stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-03 00:00:00 William Ault The illustrations look weird to me, but I get why it's a good book. It's easy to understand and designed to use words kids should recognize early on. I wish the dragon was more in the story. It's really just about a kid.
