But we see that bear doesn’t understand that yet. We see the leaves changes and we know that it is time for Fall. About a bear’s very first Fall (but also about winter and spring). A cute book!įall has just started and I thought what would be more fun than to read a Fall book! I was looking around to see what was available and stumbled upon this book.
What happens when leaves fall? Can you stick them back? Also so so sleepy. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for seasonal titles for younger children, perhaps ages two through five?
As an autumn lover I preferred the scenes set in that season, from a visual perspective, although the artwork was appealing throughout. Young children will no doubt be able to identify with the bear's confusion and concern, when faced with this change, and will find his joyful realization that the leaves will grow again in spring quite reassuring. Pairing a simple text of no more than a few words per page with bright, autumnal illustrations, Leaves offers a sometimes humorous, sometimes sweet look at a young bear's first experience with the changing seasons. When he awakens again in the spring, he discovers new leaves budding, and joyfully welcomes them to the world. Concerned when the leaves begin to fall, our ursine hero at first attempts to replace them on the trees, but when he eventually gets sleepy he uses them to line a cave in which to hibernate. A bear experiences his first autumn and winter in this lovely picture-book examination of the changing of the seasons from author/illustrator David Ezra Stein.
