![]() ![]() ![]() Some of my favorites are the caterpillars in the meadow, and the mouse hiding in the squash patch and the turtle in the lake. Some she identifies, others she does not, instead leaving the readers to discover for themselves. Every two page spread is filled with figures made from leaves. ![]() Leaf man has no choice in where he goes or where he will land only the wind knows.Įhlert’s own creativity in this book is mind-boggling. In each place there are all sorts of animals, vegetables, fruits from cows and butterflies, to squash, and cabbages. ![]() The story is simple: leaf man, made from an assemblage of fall leaves, is blown over fields, meadows, orchards, marshes, rivers, lakes, and mountains. It pushes the mind to see limitless possibilities in ordinary things, in this case leaves, and encourages the reader to go in search of more. This is the kind of book that encourages the reader to go beyond the written page and leap into activity as the last page is read. If you want a book that will stimulate imagination and creativity, Lois Ehlert’s book, Leaf Man, is a great choice. ![]()
