Children’s Books About Leaves Changing Color and Leaf Project
By Lois Ehlert
This book is written so that children ages five- to eight-years-old can read the book to you. But we can certainly read it to younger children who cannot read. It offers children a clear, concisely written, impeccably illustrated story about the life cycle of leaves. Why are leaves green in the first place? How do changes in light and temperature affect them? Why do leaves fall from the trees? Maestro gives detailed yet easy-to-follow explanations. Several pages feature large leaf identification pictures-one reason why this book is a great family companion to bring along while in search of the actual specimens. At the back of the book are activities and places to visit to see leaves in all their glory.
