I like this book because the author is called Alice.

I think the squirrel was acting quite weird because he didn’t know what was going on because people were stealing his leaf but it was actually the wind!! I also think at the end the bird was feeling a bit cross with squirrel because squirrel was wasting all his time.

I liked the squirrel because he someone was stealing one of his leafs but it was not. I liked when he saw snow on the floor.

It’s perfectly normal to lose leaves in autumn when it starts when it starts to get cold and windy.

This is such a lovely story about autumn. The pictures are amazing and all match the front cover which really catches your eye. It's great that there is an information section in the back as well.

I like it as it’s a funny book. Squirrel thinks someone is stealing the leaves but no one is. I also liked the facts and learning at the end.

When the wind blew the leaves.

I thought it was funny because squirrel thought the wind was a leaf thief. My favourite character was bird because his house was really cool.
