The only real down note that I have, is that despite the enthusiasm expressed by others, my children (boy and girl almost 4 and 6) were not particularly interested in this book.

It is nice that not everyone is white, and that people of all ages are shown. They elicit the warm glow of autumn days and bring a sense of fun as the children romp and climb trees. The pictures are nice and more interesting than drawings. A paragraph (as it appears in the book) follows so you can determine the level for yourself. In addition, the text contains words like: old-fashioned, Battleview, pretended, collapsed, and caramel. Despite the "Read with Me" label on the cover, the average page in this book has 50 or more words on it.
That said, if you are purchasing this book as any sort of `Reader', you should know that the text is not suitable for any but experienced readers (imho). the pictures are very nice and as another reviewer noted, much better than any drawings could be. After arriving home, the children bake a pie with Grandma's help and make jack-o-lanterns with dad. There are no Trick or Treaters in our book, just pictures of a family and young friends on an outing to the orchard where they pick apples and pumpkins and have a picnic.
