Here is another wonderful reminder of the Fall season -- but wait, something's not quite right with these verses. After singing the song, ask your students to go back through the story and find the many autumn descriptors that aren't stated correct. For example, do bears really gather nuts while geese hibernate?
The book can be easily adapted to the melody of the folk song "My Horses 'Ain't Hungry." However, if you're not as familiar with this particular folk song, you can also adapt the book to the melody of "The Eency Weency Spider." Both songs can be found in the folk collection "150 American Folk Songs" collected by Peter Erdei (published by Boosey and Hawkes) -- or you can simply adapt the words to sing the story to any other familiar song that has a 6/8 meter.
Enjoy and keep singing.
