Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5-This informative and succinct title begins with a definition of the equinox and covers historical perspectives as well as current festivities in America, Europe, China, India, Nigeria, Angola, and Great Britain. An autumn story from the Sauk ("-a North American people originally living in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois") caps the presentation. Crafts, recipes, and games enhance the book's educational potential. Ellis's stimulating folk-art illustrations capture the essences of different cultures while retaining a continuity that helps to highlight similarities among such observances. Though not detailed enough to support an in-depth report, the information provides an excellent introduction to the importance of the autumn equinox. Though this title works best read independently or one-on-one, individual sections could be shared with a large group. The Autumn Equinox should join Jackson's The Winter Solstice (Millbrook, 1994) in any library serving children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book for ALL Children!, December 4, 2001
Even though we happen to be a Pagan family, any family would enjoy the history of the Autumn Equinox in this book. It's great to read what many ancient cultures did to celebrate the harvest and incorporate some into our modern life.

Wonderful Native American Tale at the end. Buy with the Winter Solstice book. I wish they would come out with the Summer Solstice and Spring Equinox!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for our homeschooling family!, October 25, 2005
By Stevie E Anderson (southern Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
We have been reading this book over and over again at bedtime. My children are 5.5 and 2 and both of them love hearing about how different people around the world celebrate one of our favorite times of the year. As a bonus, it gives us all kind of fodder for unit studies! I can't wait till it's time to start reading the Shortest Day!
