Apple Books for Harvest Theme
Johnny Appleseed
book review “This is a very cute story. I bought this book for my little students ages 2-5 and they love this version of Johnny Appleseed.”
Apples
book review “Wonderful K-2 book about Apples. Perfect for the Fall. Beautiful illustrations help children discover changing seasons, plant growth and the story of Johnny Appleseed. A recipe for pie and a lesson on polination introduce youngsters to science. Written in a way children can understand without parents and teachers becoming bored. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
Fall Apples: Crisp and Juicy
book review “This is an excellent book for the young student to learn about apples and what they are used for. There are many interesting apple facts interspersed through the pages of this tale of a family’s trip to the orchard. “
Apples and Pumpkins
book review “I bought this as a fall book for my 3 year old son. He loves this book and picks it most nights before bed. He related to it since we also went to a farm to pick our pumpkins this year. It’s a cute simple book about fall and Halloween and I’m sure is one we will enjoy for quite a few more years.
Ten Red Apples
book review “I used this book for an apple themed curriculum based speech-language unit for preschoolers. The story is set on a farm and the various common farm animals take an apple off the tree one by one counting from ten to zero.
The text follows a predictable rhythm and rhyme sequence that the children enjoyed ‘filling-in’ and chiming along.
Each animal makes a different noise which was good for my kids developing language as well as speech articulation. Each page also features the animal using a different word for ‘eating’ such as ‘munch, chomp, nibble’ etc. which was great for expanding vocabulary.
The farmer exclaims on each page; “Save some for me” which was a great lesson in sharing/thinking of others, and problem solving for social skills objectives. Overall, this is a great fun story the children loved and can be used countless ways to expand language skills.”
The Apple Pie Tree
book review “I’ve been teaching preschool for 25 yrs and read this book every year during the fall. I think it’s a great book because it shows the children the whole process of how an apple grows.
The story is simple yet engaging and the pictures are sweet! This time I bought it as a gift for a woman who teaches a “fall garden camp”. I think she’ll love it as much as I do!”
Ten Apples Up on Top
book review “Great book that I used to read to my kid before she started reading it herself. Learning to read and count in the same book? winning!”
Apple Pie ABC
book review “Unlike other ABC books this one tells a story. It is quite unique and playful, and the best part is X is not xylophone.”
Apples, Apples, Everywhere!
book review “LOVE this book. We checked out about ten apple books from the library and this is definitely a favorite. Not tooooo verbose, not too sparse – and gorgeous pictures!”
How Do Apples Grow?
book review “A beautifully illustrated lovely story with great recipes included. Been a favorite in our house for years.”
Apple Farmer Annie
book review “A beautifully illustrated lovely story with great recipes included. Been a favorite in our house for years.”
Apples, Apples, Apples
book review “Read it with my Kindergartners to learn about apples. The right amount of knowledge for that age and easy enough to understand.”

Pumpkin Books
My three year old and I loved too many pumpkins. (I’m not sure who enjoyed it more.). Rebecca Estelle doesn’t like pumpkins, but, when one smashes to slimey smithereens in her yard one fall (my child loves this part), she learns to make the best of a bad situation.
Before purchasing I had read some reviews stating this book had “strong language.” Don’t worry. It’s fine for toddlers. (Older children would probably like it too, but I cannot say for certain.). I hope you enjoy! Click to order.
Seed, Sprout, Pumpkin, Pie
My children and husband absolutely love these National Geographic books! I think we have them all. We rotate them according to the season. They are nonfiction but use great pictured of real kids, and they’re short enough to be an easy bedtime story. Non fiction pumpkin book.

Scarecrow Books
My four grandchildren love the Otis books and want me to read them again over and over. The artwork is eye-catching and the story line always has a positive message I can discuss with my little ones after we finish the book. Click to order.
“The Little Scarecrow Boy” is a good choice for a fall read in your classroom. It lends itself well to expansion curriculum projects. Lesson themes may include scarecrows, farming, family relationships, emotions, etc.
The repetitive text is enjoyable and predictable. I have read it to both a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old class, they all loved it! The text is simple enough for a 7-year-old to read aloud as well. I also liked the fact that this book did not incorporate any “Halloween” themes. Click to order.
