This because a problem for the farmers wife because their are no apples for her to make an apple pie, until they see another apple tree in the distance.
Theme/Skill: Counting/ Math and Language Arts/ Long Vowel Sounds
Pre-activity: As a class we will create a concept map describing an apple.
Post-activity: Have the students create a number book using their favorite type of fruit. When each child is finished they will read their book aloud to the class. I will then hang the books up around the room.
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
Overall, I feel the children will really enjoy this story in the fall. The illustrations consist of bright colors. Since fall is about apples and making apple pie. There are a lot of pre and post activities that teachers can use to go along with this story. This story can provides a self-confidence booster for beginner readers.

I have never heard of this book before, but it seems like a cute one. I love the idea that the animals are the ones taking the apples away from the tree. I also like your idea of having the students create their own books. That sounds like a fun activity that the students would enjoy. It would be interesting to see what kind of ideas they come up with to make their fruit disappear on each page. Thanks for sharing!
