Children's Books for Preschoolers: Apples!

I absolutely love FALL, and I absolutely love children's books! (I may have a small rather extensive collection of my own...that's been building for years!) Nonetheless, I have combined these two loves and have chosen some of my very favorite fall-time (specifically apple and pumpkin themed) preschool-aged books to share with y'all. They're great for activities in the classroom, or even just to read and explore at home with your little ones!

Let's begin with books about Apples!

Apples for Everyone by Jill Esbaum

Apples for Everyone, is filled with beautiful National Geographic images and contains an abundance of information about the "apple"; including history, traditions, different types, and even how they grow. Although loaded with information, it is still both very teachable and very accessible to little growing minds. A great companion for any apple activity!

 

Fall Apples Crisp and Juicy by Martha E. H. Rustad

Take a trip to the apple orchard with Fall Apples Crisp and Juicy! Little ones learn about how apples grow and how apples are used in cooking. Fun facts and fun images!

 

The Biggest Apple Ever by Steven Kroll

I love "The Biggest Ever" books, and The Biggest Apple Ever doesn't disappoint! Follow along as Clayton (town mouse) and Desmond (city mouse) compete to find the biggest apple in town for a back-to-school contest. Lessons about working together and friendship take this story beyond just another lesson on apples!

 

Fancy Nancy: Apples Galore! by Jane O'Connor

Is anyone surprised that there is a Fancy Nancy book on my list? No. On this adventure, Fancy Nancy and her classmates take a fall (one of the fanciest seasons!) field trip to the apple orchard. Follow along, as Nancy hunts for the perfect Gala apple (what a fancy name!). Also, see what happens when she is faced with making a decision about following the rules.
