Leaf Man November 24, 2008
P. Routh (Reidsville, NC United States)
I teach a special education class of PK - 4 grade students. This book was a wonderful tool to connect the season with reading. We went on a leaf walk and collected leaves and then we made leaf people. These pictures were proudly displayed in our hallway. The illustrations are great and the story is wonderful. It reminds me of when I was much younger and my sister and I would look at clouds to see what shapes and figures we saw.
Great Book! November 2, 2008

My husband bought this for our two-year old, and we love reading it together with her. The text is simple, as it traces the journey of Leaf Man...the leaves used are magnificent in their colors...some bold, some subdued, but all unique and beautiful. I have since done some basic art projects with my daughter using this book as inspiration. We collect leaves wherever we go and hope to create a little book of our own!

My two little readers absolutely delight in this book. They love the language; they enjoy following the leaf man on his autumn journey; and they very much love to read it aloud to any adult who will sit with them for 10 minutes.

One of Lois Ehlert's best. I bought it for my mother-in-law who is a gardener and general nature-lover. But I use it to teach about leaves and using your imagination in my preschool art classes. The children all think it's so much fun. They always finish reading with so many more ideas of their own to get started on.
