This is a beautiful story about a gentle Fox who thinks his favorite tree is sick when leaves turn brown. His efforts to save the tree teach compassion, caring for nature, and an understanding of seasonal changes. ( ) Cute story about a fox and his best friend, a tree. The tree is shedding its leaves and the fox is super concerned. The story is sweet and simple for children and would be great for explaining the turning of the season. This book is probably best for children who are concerned themselves about the trees "dying" in the winter. Art is nice as well and is pretty good at illustrating the story. 3/5 because it was sweet and cute, but didn't really make me feel any particular way. This book is incredibly sweet! Julia Rawlinson (author) tells a story about a young fox named Fletcher who has a favorite tree. One day, he notices that the tree looks different. Fletcher see's that the tree starts to loose it's leaves and attempts to catch all the leaves and put them back onto the tree. I really loved this story because it was framed as a narrative, but also ends with Fletcher gaining a better understanding of the seasons. This would be a great children's book to read during a unti about the changing seasons. I could also see some art lessons being able to be integrated into this unit. Summary: Flecther, a young fox, has a very special and beautful tree near his den that he loves to visit. One day he notices the leaves are starting to fall, and he worries that his beloved tree is getting sick! Fletcher does everything he can to "fix" his tree and not let the leaves fall. When he realizes he canot "fix" the tree Flecther gets very sad, until, one winter morning he walks out to the tree to find that is even more beautiful than before! his tree is ok! Review: I do not know how this book has not gotten more popular! The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is heartwarming and adorable. I can see this being a big hit for storytime when the season are changing! Fletcher is a wonderful example of a curious and kind child! I recommend any of the Fletcher books!
The simple warmth of Rawlinson’s story and the gorgeous reds, golds and browns of Beeke’s pastels wind up in a glittery surprise. "Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 3–This potent synthesis of art and prose conveys a child's first awareness of the changing seasons with reverence and wonder. Fletcher, a tiny fox, is concerned when his favorite tree turns brown. His mother tells him, Don't worry, it's only autumn, but the tree hardly seems fine to Fletcher. As its leaves fall and flutter away, the youngster struggles in vain to catch and reattach them. When only one leaf remains, he does his level best to secure it to the limb, but eventually the stem dries up and the leaf pops off. Mournful and confused, he carries it home and takes it to bed with him. Still worried about his tree, he wakes up the next morning to find that it has undergone a sweet and satisfying transformation. Beeke's resplendent watercolors work beautifully with the book's tone, content, layout, and design. Picture books about nature sometimes suffer from cloying, excessively pastoral language or imagery; this rare example succumbs to neither. A first purchase for every collection." –Catherine Threadgill, Charleston County Public Library, SC "PreS-Gr. 2. When the leaves on his favorite tree turn brown and begin to drop, Fletcher, a young fox, worries that the tree is sick. Although he tries his best to help the tree, the last leaf finally falls. The next day when Fletcher visits the tree, he sees a magical sight that convinces him that falling leaves don't signify the tree's demise. Rawlinson's carefully worded text is superbly matched by Beeke's impressionistic watercolors. Fletcher's character is clearly evident in his distinct facial features and body language, and the magical change of the season is accentuated as the scenery goes from soft, hazy earth tones to cool white and blue-green. For the scene in which Fletcher beholds the "magical sight" of the tree covered with ice, sparkle has been glued to the pages; the effect will make children gasp with delight. Given such a strong debut, the unforgettable Fletcher is primed for more picture books as he discovers the ways of the world." Randall Enos Copyright © American Library Association.
