An Apple a Day

Want to know what we're doing in Preschool Storytime this week? Well, if it's Fall, then it's apple picking time! So this week, our stories and songs and fingerplays are all about APPLES.

If you've never had apple pie, you will want to taste it after you hear our stories: How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman, An Apple Pie for Dinner, retold by Susan Van Hecke, and the popular The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall. Other selections this week's storytime theme, AN APPLE A DAY, might include Little Mouse and the Big Red Apple by A.H. Benjamin, Pepo and Lolo and the Red Apple by Ana Martin Larranaga, Apples Here! by Will Hubbard, and Up, Up, Up! It's Apple Picking Time by Jody Fickes. Aren't apple stories delicious?

Teachers and Librarians, if you'd like to know some of the other fingerplays and songs we used this week to plan your own Apple-themed storytime, please let me know. We would be happy to share ideas!
