Orange Pear Apple Bear
AuthorEmily Gravett
ISBN1416939997
Yay! Finally an Emily Gravett book that I really like. (Thanks to my friends who encouraged me to read this one!) This one is so cute!

The Little Yellow Leaf
AuthorCarin Berger
ISBN0061452238
Hmm. I checked and this book was first published in 2008, but it feels like one of those touchy feely books that was so popular 40 years prior to that.

I loved the illustrations. They make this a beautiful book. Even the slightly unusual shape of the book makes it a stunner.

I think I was...

Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf
AuthorLois Ehlert
ISBN0152661972
While I certainly do much enjoy the bright and expressive collage like illustrations (especially of the woodpeckers which just happen to also be my favourite birds), I personally think that it would have been better for Lois Ehlert to have either penned a non-fiction book about sugar maples (and woodpeckers)...
The Apple Pie That Papa Baked
AuthorLauren Thompson
ISBN1416912401
When I was in first grade, (forty years ago!), I would borrow a Virginia Lee Burton book, Life Story, from my school library so often that the librarian gave me the book at the end of the school year. I still have that book.

So when my son and I were at our local library recently, this book immediately...
