Leaf

Product Information

The crows saw him first, drifting toward the shore one moonlit night on a raft of rapidly melting ice. He took shelter in the old empty cave that the other animals steered clear of, and the whispers started soon after. He looked so different from the other animals, and even from the lush and colorful land around them, this great white bear. And he acted so strangely, wandering the forest every day and collecting leaves. The other animals called him Leaf, not because of his odd habit, because they wanted him to LEAVE. Too loud, too different – the other animals were so sure he didn’t belong, and felt threatened by his presence. But as the crows argue for compassion, Leaf does something entirely unexpected that just may encourage the animals to consider changing their point of view. Okay, here I am again, not liking a popular Lois Ehlert book. It just didn’t strike us. The pictures were too crowded and BIG, so that it was hard to find what our eyes were supposed to find – objects made from leaves. But you may feel differently, which is why I’m including it.

Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf- These colourful leaves come from a Sugar Maple tree that was planted by a little girl who lived in Wisconsin. It follows the girl and the tree as they both grow together. It is a story of inspiration. I am sure your child will want to plant a tree after reading this book. 4. There was an Old Lady who Swallowed Some Leaves As a former teacher and a forever fan of children’s literature, I feel a bit reluctant to admit that I’ve never been a big fan of Lois Ehlert’s books. The illustrations don’t grab me, and I’ve never been crazy about the stories. I found the text of this book uninteresting and the pictures somewhat hard to distinguish. But this is a recommended read on every list of leaf books, so I must be missing something! Kids love choosing and pressing forest souvenirs.It’s so easy to collect and press leaves.

My son kept asking why he was jumping off the cliff and I was all like "Uh, I think polar bears like to swim?" but then when we both realized he just wanted to go home...oh it kinda broke my heart to see him flying off the edge hoping his leaves would float him home.

Pet Books of Remembrance

This tale of acceptance gently highlighting the plight of polar bears in today's changing climate had me enraptured from start to finish. This is another Pebble Plus book and not as detailed as the one I just mentioned. I actually prefer the other one, but I like that this one names a few different Fall leaves.
