    <body><![CDATA[I like this one. So very nice. One of my favorite scenes is where the sun sets and the words follow it down the page. I also love how the two children are illustrated in the book.

    <body><![CDATA[A visually beautiful book with a touching story.  Little Yellow Leaf is not ready to fall from the tree--even though he watches other leaves swirling around through the autumn activities a fallen leaf might experience or see.  He thinks he is all alone in his reluctance.  But, then, he sees another ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73299030">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Was entranced by the art. Not with the story. The whole 'last leaf hanging on' thing always puts me in mind of that maudlin O. Henry story about the sick girl and the painter... plus, ok I'm a literal-minded person, but the leaf? is DEAD. And is just hanging there getting deader. I will always pick ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39244181">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is beautifully written and illustrated.  It is full of creativity and imagination.  Many of the illustrations are a collage. It is simply written, with minimal text.  The story is about a leaf that by the end of autumn won't let go, and finds another leaf after the first snowfall that won'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43382293">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The images take precedence in this charming, spare little tale of courage (the little yellow leaf doesn't want to let go of the branch as the weather harshens). Inviting the kids to notice what's going on in the illustrations is critical to engaging them in the story. My PreK/K's were delighted to r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44163531">more...</a>]]></body>
