This story sings. Fletcher, intent on saving a Fall leaf, frantically fights for its life. But the leaves "swirl, twitch, twirl, tumble"...filling his dreams with "whispering sound." This is a vocabulary-rich, visual feast that gently shows how confusion during change can lead to understanding and celebration.

Though his intentions are well-meaning, fox's warning is unfounded. When his mistake is revealed, fox and friends frolic in the bloomy blunder. Delightful.
