Quick joke: What did the tree say to the leaf? Don't LEAF me!!! This week's Buzz on Books Book of the Week topic is leaves (in case you couldn't tell). I have gathered a handful of books about leaves for this week's suggestions. In the book Seasons: A Book of Poems by Charlotte Zolotow, there is one poem in particular that is perfect for autumn.
"Falling Leaves"
Autumn time is falling leaves
red and brown, yellow and brown
rustling rustling over the ground
drying stalk and piles of leaves
burning in the wind
smoke and fire
pumpkins and cider
autumn time is falling leaves.
The second book, Fall Leaves by Don L. Curry, has the main character describe everything that she can do with leaves once they fall. In the back of this Rookie Reader is a list of the words mentioned in the book.
The third book, Fall Leaves Fall by Zoe Hall, explains the life of leaves, when they change colors, and how to draw animals with leaves. On the last page, there is a description of how leaves grow through the year.
Finally, the book Leaves! Leaves! Leaves! by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace is about a mother and child bear that go hunting for leaves. They determine what shapes or objects the leaves they find look like, and they compare jagged edges before they begin to draw a tree full of leaves.
These four books will help to get you in the mood for fall and get you looking forward to the leaves changing colors and falling to the ground. Leaf for the Twinsburg Public Library now and check out these and more books about fall!
