A brilliantly funny picture book about seasons, written by Alice Hemming and illustrated by Nicola Slater. Squirrel is so cross. Yesterday there were loads of beautiful leaves on his tree, but today? Today some are missing and Squirrel is convinced that someone has stolen them… there’s a leaf thief on the loose! Join Squirrel on a mission to find the culprit, and meet so many fun animals on the way, while you find out how the world takes on different colours as the months pass by.  A laugh-out-loud book about the changing seasons, with extra information in the back for especially curious minds Perfect as a companion reader to children learning about seasons in school A brilliant picture book that explores feelings, moods and times where we feel out of control

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.
