A Leaf Can Be...

32 pp. | Millbrook | March, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7613-6203-6 $17.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Violeta Dabija. "A leaf can be a... Soft cradle / Water ladle / Sun taker / Food maker." This simple rhyming text shows how leaves perform different functions, by accident or design, often with cleverly surprising contrasts: "Skin welter / Bat shelter." The green-infused illustrations match the text’s playful tone; more information about leaves is included at the back. Reading list. Glos.
