About this item:

A New York Times Bestseller!

Perfect for fans of Fletcher and the Falling Leaves, The Leaf Thief is a funny picture book that teaches kids about autumn, adapting to change, and the seasons.

Squirrel loves counting the leaves on his tree―red leaves, gold leaves, orange, and more. But hold on! One of his leaves is missing! On a quest to find the missing leaf, Squirrel teams up with his good friend Bird to discover who the leaf thief could be among their forest friends.

With vibrant art and captivating characters, the magic of autumn is captured beautifully on each page as readers tag along Squirrel's forest adventure. Is there truly a leaf thief afoot, or is something else going on in Squirrel's forest? A perfect exploration of change―both seasonal, and the anxiety that change sometimes causes. Bonus material explaining about the changing of the seasons. Poised to be a new fall classic.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The personalities of animals who're ready for hibernation are captured in the bemused details of this fun seasonal story, from a tiny bird's decorated house to Squirrel's own warm, happy home." - Foreword

"Squirrel's wildly dramatic, misguided, and hyperpossessive reaction to a routine seasonal event becomes a rib-tickling farce through clever use of varying type sizes and weights emphasizing his absurd verbal pronouncements as well as exaggerated, comic facial expressions and body language." - Kirkus Reviews

"This is such a silly story of how one little squirrel misunderstands the concept of leaves falling off the trees in the autumn months... The colors are bright and little details add a touch of humor[.]" - Youth Services Book Review, STARRED review

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisitely Produced-Precious “Story”

K.C.K. · October 12, 2024

🐿️🍁 I don’t want to include too many photos and deny you the joy I felt first seeing it. The publisher obviously knew they had something truly special in hand. (NYT Kids Bestseller) They put a great deal into the quality of the production. First of all hadn’t realized it was this big—about 12 X11. The cover coloring truly pops and they have further heightened the scene by over painting some of the oak leaves with this perfect copper metallic wash. The story is exactly what I wanted— opening a young child to the joys of the changing seasons while using that to help little tikes to understand their changing emotions. The illustrations and depth of color are spectacular and yet not too complicated for the target age. Already ordered another for our Village library. Think of what fun it will be to take a blanket outside maybe with a picnic lunch and perhaps read it there for the first time together. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super cute story that is easy for my 4 y/o to follow

This is a great story for any age, but my 4 year old cracks up reading it. The story is simple and funny, easy to follow and has cute graphics. The packaging of the book is cute as well with reflects on the leaves. It's a nice added touch. I definitely recommend reading as fall-time is here!

5.0 out of 5 stars this book is so cute!

I thought this was such a cute book I've bought three copies! One each for my two sets of grandchildren (ranging in age from one to five years old) and one for me to keep at my house. It's very clever, and is a nice addition for my fall children's book collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Fall Book

We received the book today and have read it 3 times. My toddler loves this book...the animated squirrel, bird's comical reactions to squirrels overreacting. We love the art work, especially the cover and how it illuminates the leaves. Great book to explain fall! I love that it's hardcover too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this story!

Fun story for my 3 year old grandsons. Nice illustrations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Colorful, Entertaining, and Science Too!

B.C.R. · October 5, 2022

The hardcover has just the right amount of copper colored foil on the leaves, title, and author/illustrator information which make it impossible to pass on the shelf. The bright brash colors and simplicity of the illustrations is complementary to the text and the hyper over-acting of the squirrel character likening him to actor Jim Cary. The very primary science aspect of this book is engaging, and the facts about Autumn in the back of the book extends learning in an entertaining way. Every environmental educator will appreciate the learning opportunities this book offers. Reviewed by Books Children Read.

This book is so cute, bought it for my toddler to get ready for fall season and it is just too cute.

Good book to teach children about seasonal changes.

d. · April 3, 2023

My children thought the book was fun to read. It also teaches about seasonal changes without being too factual.

Lindísimo.

S.L. · October 13, 2022

Es una historia muy divertida. Ardilla cree que alguien se está robando las hojas de su árbol, cuando lo que está sucediendo en realidad es el cambio de estación.Es cómico, muy lindo y puede ser ejemplo para que los niños conozcan el cambio de estaciones.Además la portada tiene tinta metálica, ¡Hermoso!

Love this book!

A.S. · September 14, 2024

I read a lot of stories to children (I have three) and it's always a pleasure when I find a book that I love as much as they do. This story is educational (you learn about the life cycle of an oak), cute and well written. The rhyming elements are great for early readers and the illustrations are well executed. A perfect autumn book.

Perfect Autumn Book
