This is a really funny and enjoyable book. It shows the a chain of events that happen because of one leaf that blew into the barn. I think that is book ties in with my theme, because it shows the kids that they need to laugh in life. Sometimes when things happen, instead of getting upset just laugh about it.
This book is great for teaching cause and effect, details, and sequencing. I also think that it would be great for creating mental images.

This book is great for any "fall" units. It really shows the fall landscapes and different animals around a farm. I used this book for a story basket, because it has so many different characters that are affected by one another. It would be a great book to act out or have the children use puppets to tell the story themselves. It has short sentences and no complex words, so it would be great for early readers.
This is a very simple story that all starts when a cow sneezes. Once he sneezes and a spider lands on an owl, there is a series of events that happens on the farm. This book would be great for predicting or working on sequencing strategies.
This is a cute book for fall. It follows the sequence of events that occured once a leaf blew into a barn. This is great for the students to sequence and retell the events.
I loved the bright and clear illustrations in this book. I also thought the circular chicken or the egg type story was interesting. I think kids will like it.
Very cute and perfect for fall storytimes. It goes through lots of animals on a farm and what happened as a result of the leaf blowing in.
A circular story. A cause and effect story. Pictures are wonderful. Great for preschool-1st grade.
The leaf blows in and sets a domino effect on a chain of events to occur. The repetitive lines (...The owl swooped out of the barn! When the owl swooped out of the barn...) help in retelling the story and sequence. Cause-and-effect is also a great lesson to introduce while reading this story- the leaf blows in and causes the cow to sneeze, which causes the spider to fly, etc.
A fun, cumulative tale great for fall themed storytimes.
You got a kick out of this one.
Cute and fun (and funny)!
* Great sequencing book because each line is repeated to give a hint for the next line.
* Audience give and take: This book can be used for a music and movement segment where students can act out the movements that the words imply.
* The use of onomatopoeia moves this book along.
* K-2 appropriate

Cute story to show how a small thing, like a leaf, can cause a chain of events to happen and effect many things like the animals in the story.
Great when talking about the season of fall. Also perfect for showing life of animals on a farm. Cute dialog and pictures that children will love!
When the leaf blew in.... many things happen on the farm! This is a great book to use for cause and effect and sequencing.
I thought this was cute book for fall, especially discussing sequencing with students.

I grew up in Queens, NY in the 1950s with my “baby” sister, Lois. She is now a wonderful writer of young adult novels and nonfiction. My mother was born in Vienna, Austria, and my father came from Brooklyn – an interesting match! My best friends were Neil, Robbie, Krebs, and Paul. I’m still good friends with most of these guys. It was less hectic in those days – no computers, no emails, fewer TV c...more
