Good afternoon friends! 

 

 

     I am going to be sharing some good fall books for children the next couple of weeks.  I love fall or autumn and love seeing the leaves and the weather change.  It is a beautiful time of the year.  I always loved raking the leaves and jumping in them in the fall.  I love going to get apples from the apple orchard and my mom would make great applesauce and apple butter.  I loved making leaf books and searching down the different kind of leaves for it.  My daughters loved doing it too.  So many fun and exciting things to do in the fall.  What is your favorite?  Please share in the comments your favorite fall things to do.  We would love to hear from you.  So post a comment friends anytime you would like to.

Mercer Mayer

 

     Who doesn't like a Mercer Mayer book?  They are always so delightful and lessons to be learned.  This one is about a fall festival in the Critter's hometown .  The family is headed to the fall festival.  They can't wait to see all of the fun things to do at the festival.  The Critter family brings a wagon to hold all that they buy.  The first thing they buy are apples and  Little Critter can't resist so he eats one of the apples.  Little Sister has some apple cider.  The family goes on a hayride through the pumpkin patch and then the family looks for a pumpkin for Halloween and Little Critter finds one and so does mom critter.  Little Critter's is to big so they take the one mom found.  They also pick apples from the trees to take home so mom can make apple pies.  Little Critter eats another apple.  The family plays the horseshoe game and dad critter wins a bunny for Little Sister and a bear for Little Critter.  Then it is time to go home and Little Critter decides he has eaten to many apples !!!

   This is a really cute book and one both boys and girls t would enjoy. It is a I Can Read Book.  It is a shared reading book.  Also check out the website www.icanread.com for more information about I Can Read books.  They are great books to help children learn to read.

Ruby's Falling Leaves

by

Rosemary Wells

 

This is a really cute book with Max and Ruby.  It is fall and as Ruby says that is why it is fall because of the falling leaves.  Ruby is making a Leaf Book for school.  Her and Max are in the backyard looking for the leaves for her book.  She is  looking for leaves from a willow tree and an apple tree and Max is trying to help.  Together they find the willow and apple leaves and now Ruby is looking for a Japanese maple leaf and a big tooth aspen.  They have a time with all the leaves and the leaves in Max's dump truck getting mixed up but they do find both and Ruby puts them in her book.  Ruby finds all the leaves for her leaf book in the end of the story. 

This is a great fall book for young children and after you read the book with your child you could take them to make a leaf book.  On Wednesday's blog I will share some information on making a Leaf book.  I think all ages of children and some adults would love to make one.  See you Wednesday friends!
