 Quiet story August 10, 2008
The text is nice and short, and the illustrations are beautiful. This is a quiet story--not an exciting plot but still a sweet story.
 sweetness July 5, 2008
A sweet story about a bear in autumn, wondering about the falling leaves and not understanding the change in seasons. Yet he goes about his business and ulitmately finds joy in what he discovers. The artwork has an urgent, scribbled quality that lend motion to the images (e.g., the falling leaves) and a colorful fun quality--you want to jump into those leaves. Excellent for prereaders and early readers.

An uncomplicated, innocent look at one of nature's quiet, reliable gifts. The text has been pared down to the essentials, leaving only eloquence. A poem-like simplicity and beauty forms the framework for David Ezra Stein's evocative, stirring illustrations. How can brown, yellow, and green watercolors that look so (wonderfully) muddy and messy never fail to enliven the senses? It's not that you feel like you've been there before... you are there. You feel the breeze push the leaves past you.

David Ezra Stein's LEAVES tells of a young bear who has never seen leaves fall off a tree before. Should be try to put them back, or use them as bedding? Leaves are falling all over his island: what should he do? A whimsical story of seasonal changes will delight the very young.

Through the eyes of a young bear, David Ezra Stein captures the bittersweet feelings of autumn. With the heart and vocabulary that a toddler will understand, the bear expresses wonder and concern for the falling leaves. It is a simple story, beautifully written and illustrated, that my 3 year old begs to hear over and over.
