Leaf Jumpers by Carole Gerber and Leslie Evans

A fantastic introduction to identifying leaves! Leaf Jumpers begins by describing kids playing in leaves, a good hook to capture kids’ attention, and then provides descriptions of eight common leaves. One of the highlights of Leaf Jumpers is Leslie Evan’s graphic, glowing illustrations.  Gotta love the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uqccfcCGeo
 

Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert. Leaf Man is best read to one or a small number ofchildren who can take the time to pour over the pictures at their own pace. The story is not particularly exciting. Instead, the fun comes from observing how Lois Ehlert used leaves to create images of chickens, ducks and geese, pumpkins and winter squash, and much more. Leaf Man will inspire kids to create their own fall leaf artwork.Here is a teacher's guide - http://www.harcourtbooks.com/leafman/teacherguide.asp
