Leaf Jumpers by Carole Gerber

I didn't care for Leaf Jumpers. It was blah, the sort of book that you could have imagined was written during the 1950's or earlier. The book is written from a child's perspective of fall, but the problem is no real child would ever talk or act like this.

One positive thing about the book, I could see a teacher using the book just as an example of using adjectives and descriptive language. A teacher could also use it for a science class to teach the different types of leaves. But truthfully, I can't imagine a child sitting still to listen to this story.
