Fletcher and the Falling Leaves: A Fall Book for Kids

Product Information

Fletcher than goes to the tree every day to keep the leaves on the tree; however, when winter came, Fletcher noticed that all the leaves were starting to fall off more rapidly than before. When I had my children I started writing stories for picture books, and my first book, Fred and the Little Egg, was published in 2005. Since then I have written lots of stories about rabbits, bears, mules, dragons, hedgehogs, squirrels, mice, a kind-hearted but easily confused fox. All of the copies in the library system were checked out or requested, so I used my own, and it was really special. The picture book was introducing a lot of themes here from the melancholy of Fletcher's feelings to the grief of his favorite tree changing to only being able to hold onto just a few leaves, seeing animals take the falling leaves leaving him with a sense of worry and much more.

edit: I just read Leaf Trouble and I like it much more, and not only because the mom actually explains what is happening, and what will happen in the spring.Fletcher and the Falling Leaves” is a children’s book by Julia Rawlinson along with illustrations by Tiphanie Beek and it is about a young fox named Fletcher who tries to save a tree’s leaves from falling off during autumn and winter. Fletcher si rubah kecil yang amat menyukai sebuah pohon harus berurusan dengan angin dan tupai dan landak karena mencuri semua dedaunan. This is a sweet story and while our girls aren't as naive as Fletcher, this is their first Fall and it will be their first Winter season (in a location that gets cold and snowy, that is!

Fletcher's sensitivity is commendable, his curiosity and misunderstanding easy to relate to as it is all to easy to want something (or someone! I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book. He tries reattaching them and defending the leaves from squirrels who want the leaves for their nests. Fletcher loves his tree, but when autumn comes he begins to fear that something terrible is happening--for the leaves begin to turn color and fall off.I didn't really like the story at all, I don't know what it was but the little fox going around trying to put the leaves back on the tree just wasn't cute for me. Tiphanie Beeke attended the Royal College of Art where she gained a Master's degree in Illustration and has since specialised in children's books. A tiny breeze shivered the branches, making a sound like laughter, and in the light of the rising sun, the sparkling branches nodded.

This went over very well on Saturday, when there were more preschoolers and kindergartners, and I enjoyed sharing it.Originally published in Britain as Ferdie and the Falling Leaves (and subsequently published by Scholastic, for the American school-market, as The Fox and the Falling Leaves), this delightful autumn picture-book follows the story of a young fox, and his somewhat less-than-graceful adjustment to the changing of the seasons. My Thursday storytime had a lot of younger kids, and some of them lost interest partway through, although the adults seemed to enjoy it. I could definitely relate to this fox; telling a tree it will get better seems like something I would have done as a kid. Young readers will share the feelings of wonder and empathy as they curl up with a parent or gather in circle time to enjoy this beautiful picture book. She had a great opportunity to help him learn about seasons, but instead left him feeling, well, confused and sad and worried.

I adore the pastel created illustrations; they’re the kind I can see in my mind and would love to be able to create, but can’t get down on paper the way I’d like. The oil pastel art not only incorporates the colors of fall/autumn and winter, but also is very nice to look at, going well with the heartfelt tale. Fletcher tells his tree friend that he’ll do everything he can to help and is soon scurrying around after falling leaves. Fletcher and the Falling Leaves” is a cute story about the beauty of changes in weather that I am sure that many children who are interested in knowing what happens to the trees during winter and autumn will easily enjoy for many years! As the autumn season sets in, Fletcher is very worried his beautiful tree has begun to loose all of its leaves.I have always loved writing poetry - I enjoy the sound and rhythm of words and the first things I published were poems. As the Autumn season sets in, Fletcher is very worried – his beautiful tree has begun to loose all of its leaves.
