Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert copyright 2005

Autumn lovers, do not miss Leaf Man!  While the lack of a definite story puts this colorful picture book in the "concept book" category, the ingenuity of the illustrations compensates for the missing plot.

The wind blows Leaf Man through a series of pastoral scenes that will have readers eager to see the next stop along Leaf Man's route, and to discover the next creature made by Ehlert's leaf collage.  Die-cut pages add to the visual delight of the book, and informative endpapers enhance the publication's educational value.  A perfect book for the changing season, Leaf Man will inspire a fresh look at the crunchy leaves in the yard and perhaps a new art project too!
