The Leaf Men
By William Joyce
Readers Pre-k- 3grade
My reason for picking this story was due to a movie preview my kids watched. This book is not new, it has been out for a few years. The story is about a garden that is in trouble because the lady who owns the garden becomes sick. While she is sick, an evil Spider Queen wants to make snacks out of all the bugs in the garden. The leaf men come in to save the bugs and the garden. The garden is saved and the lady gets better when the leaf men bring her a item from the garden.
The story is the good vs evil theme. The pictures are beautiful. A first grader should be able to read it with help from mom or dad. My son enjoyed it and is looking forward to seeing the movie spring of 2013. We will read this book again and again.
Happy Reading
