You don’t have to be a bear to love the leaves!
It's that time of year! Rake up those leaves. Make a pile. Jump and dance and twirl and swirl. You don't have to be a bear to have fun in the red and gold and bronze of autumn. Add leaves to the compost or toss them into your garden for rich dirt in Spring. Or just leave them where they fall giving nutrients back to the soil. Then head in and curl up with a good book.

Bear goes to the Library!
Look where I was this weekend! The library! Always a favorite place. Bear was there and she wants to know where did the leaves go?(Maybe you do too) We read. We twirled and swirled like autumn leaves, like Bear. Swoosh and crunch and stomp. And then we made our own autumn leaves. (Maybe you can too!) Can't wait for those autumn leaves to tumble down Piles for miles. For jumping and dancing and twirling and swirling.
