Review
If you like big dogs, fall holidays, and funny rhymes, you'll fall in love with this beautifully illustrated and masterfully written picture book. I love all of the above and, although I myself prefer small puppies, I couldn't resist falling in love with this huge dog dressing up in a pink costume to celebrate Halloween in grand style! Read the entire Silly Milly collection, but be warned, you may enjoy these charming books even more than your little ones! Most highly recommended! - YL, Amazon Verified Purchaser
An adorable rhyming story of the sweet and silly Milly, a Great Dane who loves the fall season. From choosing a Halloween costume to exploring all that the chilly air has to offer, Milly creates fun and excitement for us all. A holiday to remember. Recommended! - JH, Amazon Verified Purchaser
Sheri Wall has produced another winner. She is an outstanding children's author who focuses on early literacy through the rhyming adventures of her niece's Great Dane, Milly. Milly's fall adventures are done in delightful limericks that hit the highlights of Halloween, Fall fun, and Thanksgiving. As a read aloud parents, teachers, and librarians will be delighted at the thoughtfulness of the rhymes. Children will be engaged and learning vicariously in the rhymes. The illustrations are first rate. They are beautifully drawn and brightly painted. This book would be a great addition to a fall-themed story time or a nice curl up and read bedtime store. Treat a child you love with this fun read! - CZ, Amazon Verified Purchaser
From the Author
A Silly Milly Fall is the third book in Milly's collection. It has a few twists! By combining Halloween and Thanksgiving, children can celebrate all the autumn season has to offer. Buy it before Halloween and enjoy it through Thanksgiving. Purchase it after Halloween to reminisce about Halloween and prepare for Thanksgiving. Buy it any time of year, and be ready to celebrate when pumpkin season is in full swing!
I chose to write again in limericks, but with less repetition on each page. Limericks are just fun to rhythmically read and the boost to reading comprehension, phonemic awareness and overall cognitive development are a plus to early and even more advanced elementary readers!
Thanks again for choosing Milly! Be sure to read
Silly Milly the Dane and
A Silly Milly Christmas, with varying levels of repetition but in limericks kids love!
From the Inside Flap
To goblins and ghouls
And all dogs that drool
To dressing and turkey
And pets that are quirky!
