Creative. And oversized, so it's grabbable in the library, and shareable in circle time. Day care teachers might see if their children can assemble leaf critters and orchards, etc., themselves. (Some children might like to make patterns, like mandalas or grids, and that should be accepted, too, of course.)

I probably would have liked it more when I was a child or when my children were young. Now, well, it's just odd.

I do like Ehlert's [b:Eating the Alphabet|843019|Eating the Alphabet|Lois Ehlert|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347326956s/843019.jpg|828551]. ( )

This book is about a journey of a man made of leaves. It depicts the journey of a leaf though seasons. This would be a good book for science classes talking about what happens when seasons change. ( )

I love this book; I feel like this is a very versatile book. I love how the illustrations were made up of different types of leaves. This book speculated about where a leaf my travel and all the things it may see. It can be used in so many ways in the classroom. First off, all children are familiar with leaves and overall this is an engaging read for children. This book is about a “leaf man” that takes a journey when the fall rolls around. The man is composed of leaves that are formed together to shape a man. He goes where the wind blows. I would use this book in a unit that talks about seasons, the fall or leaves. A fun activity I planned in a lesson plan to accompany this book was taking the class on a nature walk to collect leaves, then you have your students create their own leaf man! ( )

I love this book for the unique illustration style using leaves to create animals and the way that the pages are cut to create a mountain and forest scene. ( )
