Gotta be honest—the vintage feeling of the artwork had my hopes too high for the text. 🙈 There’s nothing quite like beautiful, old-fashioned prose; however, this book was first published in 2020 and it’s written that way. Not a big deal! It’s a cute story that’s sure to make your child giggle.
I posted the Fletcher book yesterday, because they have similar themes—main character anxious because a tree is losing leaves in autumn. I would say The Leaf Thief is for an even younger crowd than Fletcher, as it’s shorter and simpler. ☺️🍂🍁
