"the most beautiful, impressionistic pictures give readers the feeling of spring blossoms and flowers. fletcher is so concerned that the white petals flying around mean snow and worries about the birds and butterflies getting too cold. his empathy and love match the warmth of the pictures."

“Captivating.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)“This is a great book to share one-on-one or with a class to celebrate the season.”
— School Library Journal" I absolutely love Fletcher and the Falling Leaves, and I'm a little disappointed in this latest installment involving Fletcher. It's still a good book, just not as good as its predecessor. "
— Denise, 1/8/2014" A rendition of The Sky is Falling with Fletcher the fox warning the other animals about snow falling in the orchards. All the forest animals are sweetly drawn in these simple, colorful illustrations. "
— Edna, 1/8/2014" Fltecher thinks he sees snow but he is seeing blossoms this is a great book for sequencing. "
— Ayana, 12/22/2013" What a delightful book with beautiful, calming illustrations and one that truly captures the feeling of spring. The ending is just breaktaking. The kids I read to this too for my storytime absolutely loved this book. "
— cassie, 11/13/2013" The glitter was better in the fall one... "
— Rachel, 10/28/2013" spring, fox, forest animals, blossoms "
— Tina, 9/1/2013" This one was a dissapointment after Fletcher and the Falling leaves. It really was nothing special. The art was still very nice, but the story was boring and way too repetitive. "
— Brynja, 4/20/2013" This was ok. It would work as a good spring book. And it would be a good read alike for The Little Red Hen. Very sweet and a little slow for me. Ages 4+ "
— Molly, 3/26/2013" Cute children's picture book with accompanying audio. Light, springy and a fun read. "
— Vi, 2/20/2013" We like Fletcher, but this one wasn't as fun as the Autumn and Christmas ones. It didn't have as much detail and it was more repetitive. Still cute, but not our favorite. "
— Logan, 12/1/2012" Seasons "
— Dana, 9/17/2012" This is a fun book with a Henny Penny theme. It has beautiful illustrations with impressionist landscapes and a syrupy sweet narrative that children love. We enjoyed reading this book together. "
— Dolly, 8/3/2012" I've had a change of heart about Fletcher since I read the fall book - still a little too cute but very human by standing upright, so kind of like a child with a fox's head. The falling petals and backgrounds bring Spring to life. "
— Paul, 7/26/2012" Too long for storytime. "
— Morgan, 5/23/2012" This was a wonderfully illustrated book with simple, repetitive text perfect for younger readers. And the mystery of the springtime snow is fun, too, it made me want to pretend it was snowing at my house! "
— Michael, 3/25/2012" I love little Fletcher the fox! The illustrations are just darling! Fletcher mistakes the blossoms falling off the trees for snow but his friends set him straight! Very charming! "
— Tara, 3/7/2012" A little fox mistakes white blossoms for snow and warns off all the animals. "
— Debbie, 1/7/2012" Just like the first Fletcher book this one too is sweet - a nice book to read with your kids "
