Love the contrasting illustrations!

What a fantastic book for young readers. The text is warm and easy, while there are large illustrations of a variety of leaves, accompanied by their names. Trivia and activities for children to do at the end add to this wonderful book. I plan to use it for story time in a few weeks. Definitely recommend!

I was very impressed with this book. Every page beautifully illustrates a different, full-color leaf and the tree on which that leaf grows. A poem in the guise of a first-person narrative on the part of the child accompanies the pictures, and tells of a walk the child takes with her Grandmother, who tells her about all the leaves they see. Line drawings depict the poem's story. The end of the book shows all the leaves in a row and challenges the reader to match the leaves on which they grow.
