Apples, Apples, Everywhere . . .

Yesterday was the last day of our local Farmers' Market, well at least until the Spring, I just couldn't resist the 1/2 bushel of apples.  So the house now smells like cinimmon, nutmeg and wonderful boiling apples.  This will be out fruit for the cold winter!  So . . . I just had to post some books for kids with an "apple" theme.  Enjoy!

How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by   Here is a fun book compelte with map, recipes, video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT2ls2Cxym4 http://delightfullearning.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-make-apple-pie-and-see-world.html    Yum!

 Here is a fun lesson linked to Science and Math - http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plan/apples-apples-apples-lesson-plan


The Apple Pie Tree Book by Zoe Hal is the story of two sisters who have an apple tree. The story describes what happens each season with their tree such as robins building a nest in the spring amidst the apple blossoms and the apples growing larger during the summer while they run in the sprinkler underneath. When fall comes, they harvest the apples and make an apple pie.
The illustrations in this book are called a painted and found-paper collage technique. It results in a colorful and graphic illustration style that will appeal to preschool and kindergarten aged children. It is an excellent book for showing how an apple tree changes over the seasons as well as the key stages of the apple tree's life cycle.
