I was looking for apples books for Rosh Hashanah (apples and honey for a sweet new year), and found this, and really liked it - especially when we then went to pick apples and found there were still some peaches on the trees, too! Also, the Union Square farmers market in NYC is in there, near where I used to live. All-around win. Also, the mom/grandma makes the applesauce, and dad does not. Which I was all ready to be meh about, but then it points out dad then uses the applesauce in other things he makes, like roasts and pies.

I love Leaf Man (ages 4 and up are probably better at finding the animals made out of leaves). Two others that are not fall books but are fitting for October: Go Away Big Green Monster! and If You're a Monster and You Know It (also has a song you can download for free). I've used both in my dance AND art classes and they are a huge hit. When we read Go Away Big Green Monster!, I have the kids stomp their feet to make the monster go away.

Of course, Where the Wild Things Are is awesome and in Lyle's children lit class, he learned something interesting. The pictures get bigger and bigger as Max finds the monsters and then smaller and smaller as he's going home (at least I think they get smaller after the pictures of him dancing with the monsters). Not really relevant, but I never noticed.SarahMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757477291961686123noreply@blogger.com
