The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs

I got this for a friend who had been looking for it and they loved it.

Although the story of the Leaf Men is quite different than Epic the movie, the strong foundation of the Leaf Men and their everlasting diligence as protectors of the forest are truly the main characters. It's easy to see how Epic was derived from this story bringing the Leaf Men to life in a wonderful, truly delightful, and beautifully imagined movie. William Joyce's books are all gems and should be brought to screen. The Leaf Men and Epic was purchased for my two nieces (7 and 12) after having seen Epic three times not knowing it was based on a book, so they can understand how a book is transformed into a screenplay, then into a movie; and that the movie can be different than the book itself but the foundation of the book remains the same. They loved reading the Leaf Men and Epic and is now one of their favorite movies.

my son has loved this book since he was 6, and now at 13, lists this among his all-time favorites. i have compiled a lists of books to give to friends/family and this book is on my gift-giving list for boys/girls ages 4-7. my son and i love all of william joyce's books. beautiful illustrations and wonderful, quirky, heartwarming stories.

I was divorced a few years ago, and desperately trying to be a good dad...my daughter and I developed a strong connection, and this book became something very special to us. We get it out every now and then, and read it together...it never grows old or tired. It is a wondrous work, a marriage of images and moving story. Simple, yes, but tapping into something very deep. I am very grateful to William Joyce for this book.

My son loves the movie Epic. This is the book that it seems loosely inspired the movie and while the book didn't follow the movies' story line perfectly, it was a great read and was an immediate hit with my son.

I fell in love with this book when I was a little kid and needed one of my own. Wonderful story. Quick shipping. Truth in advertising, ( I bought a used copy and it was in a very good condition)

My kids 5 and 3 love this book and so do I, we read it over and over. The illistrations are beautiful. William Joyce's books are amazing. If you haven't seen the others you really should. Some of them I think I love even more than the kids do!!

My daughter loves this book and reads it over and over. She loved the movie 'Epic,' and while this is the source material, it seemingly only was a point of departure. Wish there were more Leaf Men books, including longer 'chapter' - type books.

I bought this book to go with the DVD Epic for a birthday present for my 7 yr old son. We saw the film and I found out it was based on this book.The book is wonderful. The illustrations are amazing and the story is fantastic. It is a little dark in places but a true good versus evil story so that bit is soon forgotten. My son read it without any problems or nightmares.Thoroughly recommend!

I bought this book for my 7 year old granddaughter following the film "epic" and she loved it. there is nothing to dislike about it, it arrived in time for her birthday and I would recommend this book to youngsters who enjoy reading and enjoy being read to.

Item as described and arrived fast!

I bought this for my daughter after seeing Epic. This is a brilliant inspiration. the illustrations are great too. I love it and so does my 7 year old.

Una historia sobre el valor de los recuerdos, de las personas mayores y de los pequeños héroes que se enfrentan a los peligros para arreglar las cosas. Cuanto más lo leo, más me gusta. Lo compré porque es la historia en la que está basada la película Epic, aunque tiene muy pocos puntos en común. De todos modos, no importa- tiene valor por sí mismo.
