Big Wolf tells him to wait.  Eventually the leaf will fall.<\/p>\n<p>In summer, the leaf is a shiny deep green, and in autumn it&#8217;s a lovely soft brown.  Both times, when Little Wolf asks Big Wolf to get it, Big Wolf tells him to wait.<\/p>\n<p>But when winter comes, there is one leaf left on the tree &#8212; exactly the leaf that Little Wolf wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Big Wolf decides to get the leaf for Little Wolf.  Is it worth the trouble?<\/p>\n<p>This book is a lovely, heart-warming story of friendship and the beauty of nature.  The pictures are impressionistic, with wolves quite different from other picture book wolves.  I like the different perspectives the artist uses, making the quiet story all the more interesting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1592700888\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/little_leaf.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/little_leaf.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Wolf and Little Wolf The Little Leaf that Wouldn&#8217;t Fall by Nadine Brun-Cosme and Olivier Tallec Enchanted Lion Books, New York, 2009. 28 pages.
