The Apple Pie Tree by  Zoe Hall

The Apple Pie Tree is a  perfect read out loud for any season!

Every year our family plans a trip to the orchard to pick apples. We always come home with more than we planned on picking, because how can you stop? Along with the apples comes, cider donuts, hayrides and all the fresh pressed cider. After all, when you live in New England you need to take advantage of the seasons.

The Apple Pie Tree is a wonderful Fall book  for both home and the classroom.

The Apple Pie Tree takes you on the ‘life cycle’ of the apple from blossom to your table … as a pie! One of our family’s favorite parts though is the family of robins that live in the tree. We get to see their new family grow right alongside the apples.  But wait, there’s more. At the end of the book is a recipe for apple pie. So grab those apples you picked, and get ready to start baking with the kids – they are going to love it.

Bees Play A Role Too

At the end of the book, author, Zoe Hall, provides a brief ‘science lesson’ on how bees help apples grow through pollination.

This book IS perfect for any season – but is most popular this time of the year. 

This book cleverly shows the stages of an apple tree through the seasons AND the family of robins that live in it – the best part – the book has a recipe on how to make apple pie!
