"Leaf Man" Flannel Story

Happy Fall!  The air is crisp, the wind is blowing, and the leaves are falling.  What a perfect day to read  Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert for today's preschool storytime.  As I read the story, I periodically "found" leaves along the way, creating my own leaf man for the children to see.

We talked about how leaves are different shapes and change different colors.  A lot of the kids eagerly explained that they had read this already, but the flannel board story kept their attention throughout this quiet and melodic text.
