Favorite book that endures beginning at 15 months
My 15 month old grandson immediately loved this book when he received it and 5 months later is still a favorite- Though most of his books at the time were board books, he always eagerly pulled this off the shelf and sat through the whole book. The pages have quite a bit of dialogue so it can be reduced as needed for attention spans building up to reading the whole page. My grandson knew "Bird!" was coming after one read and laughs. He is now 20 months and still he picks it most nights as part of bedtime stories. The pictures are fun and it is a cute story. As a speech path- I love how engaging the book is for little ones and I am sure my grandson will continue to enjoy the book through his preschool years. The end of the book has interesting science facts as well (the book can "grow" with him). I highly recommend it!

Fun Little Book, Great for My Own Leaf Thief
This is a delightful book that's perfect for my little leaf enthusiast. My toddler, who loves picking up leaves and bringing them home (which is why I absolutely had to grab this, haha), finds this story enjoyable and humorous, as do we! It's a fun read with engaging illustrations, and its just long enough to make it feel like a great value. The book has quickly become a favorite in our household, and an excellent addition to our reading collection. Would recommend!

A New Fall Favorite!
My 5-year-old daughter absolutely adores this book. The story is charming and funny, and the illustrations are beautiful. It's become her go-to bedtime read since we got it. It's a perfect, lighthearted book for the autumn season that sparks conversations about nature and change. A definite hit in our house

Great children's book
This is a great book for children who love adventures and enjoy reading books out loud to their parents, guardians, or babysitter. The quality of this book is great, the story is easy to follow, and the price was great. This book was purchased as a gift, and the child loved it.

Lindísimo.
Es una historia muy divertida. Ardilla cree que alguien se está robando las hojas de su árbol, cuando lo que está sucediendo en realidad es el cambio de estación. Es cómico, muy lindo y puede ser ejemplo para que los niños conozcan el cambio de estaciones. Además la portada tiene tinta metálica, ¡Hermoso!
