The illustrations also show a racially diverse group of young children. Another description identifies the book as a set of twenty-six Halloween poems, one for each alphabet letter. Together, the entries create an alphabetical collection focused on the playful and shivery imagery of Halloween.

Cover of Fort-Building TimeFort-Building TimeMegan Wagner Lloyd, illustrated by Abigail HalpinFour children spend a year playing outside and making a different fort for each season. In winter, they build with snow; later, their forts take the forms of a tent, a beach hideaway, and a tree shelter. Rhyming text moves through seasonal play, including sledding and making snowmen. Watercolor illustrations show three girls and one boy from varied racial backgrounds sharing imaginative outdoor games. Across the changing weather, the children keep finding new ways to create a snug place of their own.Seasons and CelebrationsLexile Text Measure AD470LATOS Book Level 3.2On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
