September and October are great months to have an apple topic. It's when we collect apples, there might be an Apple festival where you live, and apples are starting to be in abundance in the supermarket.
1. Seed to Apple (Growing Up) (Explore the Life Cycle!) by Jodie Sheperd: with real pictures, explore the life cycle of an apple. Other books in the same series: chicken, sunflower, butterfly, ....
2. How to Grow an apple pie by Ben Charles and Katie Rewse. The story of a little girl, called Sophie who learns where do apples come from to make an apple pie.
3. How do apples grow by Jill McDonald: a very simple book to introduce apples to toddlers.
4. The apple cake by Nienke Van Hichtum and Marjan Van Zeyl. We have this one! An old lady wants to bake an apple cake. She has everything she needs except apples. So she sets off to market to buy some apples, taking a basket of plums to trade along the way, just in case...
This is a classic story of sharing, trading and caring. Children will love guessing what the old lady will acquire next, and how, and seeing how her journey brings her a full circle as her kindness is repaid. There is an apple cake recipe included.
5. How do apple grow? By Betsy Maestro - Let's read and find out series. I love all the books in this series, they are great for the 3 to 6.
6. Apples for everyone by National Geographic so there are some beautiful pictures in this book!
7. Apples by Gail Gibson: I love all the books by Gail Gibson, they are so beautifully illustrated.
8. Apple farmer Annie by Monica Wellington: Apple cider, applesauce, apple muffins, cakes, and pies! Annie is a very busy apple farmer. She bakes yummy treats with the apples she picks and saves her best apples to sell at the market. Follow Annie through her apple-filled day of picking, counting, sorting, baking, and selling, and then try making some of her simple apple recipes.
9. Bring me some apples and I will make you a pie by Robbin Gourley. This is the story of African-american chef Edna Lewis who was championing fresh, in season ingredients.
10. Apple cake, a gratitude by Dawn Casey and Genevieve Godbout. In this simple rhyming story, a child says thank you for the gifts nature provides, from hazelnuts in the hedge to apples from the tree, eggs from the hens to milk from the cow. Eventually, the family has enough ingredients to make something special… a delicious apple cake!
