" "Includes an authors note and leaf-identifying labels. Review Quote Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 3-Ehlert combines vivid collage artwork, effulgent colors, and an inventive design to create an eye-catching picture book. With a body made of fallen leaves and acorns for eyes, Leaf Man takes off from a backyard and flutters away on the breeze, meandering past animals, over fields of fall vegetables, above waterways, and across prairie meadows. The text suggests a range of possible destinations, along with the refrain, Well, a Leaf Mans got to go where the wind blows. Finally, readers are encouraged to listen for a rustle in the leaves and maybe find a Leaf Man of their own to take home. From ducks to pumpkins to fish, all of the objects described are fashioned out of life-size leaves of various shapes, sizes, and hues and set against backgrounds of textured paper. The die-cut pages curve and bend across the top edge, suggesting undulating mountains set against a sky-blue backdrop. The various leaves and seeds are identified on the endpapers. While the story is simple, the artwork is dazzling, and the books concept will inspire nature walks, art projects, and curiosity about the changing seasons.-Joy Fleishhacker, School Library Journal Details ISBN0152053042 Author Lois Ehlert Short Title LEAF MAN Pages 40 Language English ISBN-10 0152053042 ISBN-13 9780152053048 Media Book Format Hardcover Illustrations Yes Country of Publication United States Residence Milwaukee, WI, US Audience Age 4-7 DOI 10.1604/9780152053048 UK Release Date 2005-09-01 US Release Date 2014-12-11 Illustrator Lois Ehlert Edited by Verena Peters Birth 1955 Affiliation Marquette University Position Assistant Professor Qualifications Ph.D. Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Year 2014 Publication Date 2014-12-11 Imprint Clarion Books DEWEY 813 Audience Children / Juvenile AU Release Date 2005-08-14 NZ Release Date 2005-08-14 Imprint US Clarion Books Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
