I love fall and dogs so this book was a hit for me!

Milly the Great Dane is ready to enjoy the chilly air that comes with Halloween and Thanksgiving. She's silly when the air gets chilly! We get to see this cute dog wear costumes and enjoy the season.

This book has a rhyming scheme which will make you smile and enjoy reading as you sing along. It also is a great way to get into the spirit of Fall! It's fun, engaging, and friendly. Definitely a must read if you just want a fun read for your kiddos aged three through eight. I also adore the illustrations! So fun!

Four out of five stars.

What Should You Wear?

For those of us who love Silly Milly and those who are being introduced to her, this is a exciting Fall and Halloween edition. Her stories always rhyme in the best of ways. The illustrations are vivid and engaging. I highly recommend this book for all and family get togethers.
They head out for a road trip , in the wind her ears do a trip. She signals her pumpkin with a yip. They find a costume. For her to put on. What else do they do? You get to listen/read to find out. Isn't that exciting? Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!

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 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! I look forward to reading many more books in this excellent series.

🎨Artwork good but printed words not optimal in ebook format🖌

3.5🌟 stars
Silly Milly the Great Dane's fall fun is illustrated in colorful and well-executed artwork sure to please the little ones.

I read this on an eight inch e-device and found the text print quite small and, on some pages, the text color faded into the background illustration (especially with white text) making it a bit of a strain to read.

Two holidays in one book

Another Silly Milly fun book. I love the silliness, the costumes, and the fact that it combines two beautiful holidays in one book. I have a great dane so this book is extra special to me.

Warm

The illustrations really capture the warm glow of fall. The limericks are pretty easy to read, even for a beginner. A great way to ring in Halloween and Thanksgiving.
