Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert

This is a book I remember from my own childhood and, as such, it's hugely nostalgic. There's a haunting quality to the lilting text that just stays with you. And the illustrations, with all the real leaves and layers of shaped pages, always leave something new to be discovered. It literally forces you to blink and focus on the leaves in a different way. Very ingenious. 

Anyhow, as I was flipping through it before writing this up, the Little Princess looked up and said, "Oh, I love that one." So there ye are, it now also has the generational stamp of approval. ;) It's definitely inspired us further on our own leaf foraging adventures so I'm happy to recommend it(!), particularly as a great seasonal read.
