Say "hello" to the apples in the trees, and learn how they become delicious apple cider.
Grab the wagon, it's a bright autumn day and the trees are full of ripe, red apples! There’s an apple festival underway at the farm and lots of work to do making cider. This visit finishes with a cider doughnut and a cup of freshly pressed cider. DELICIOUS! Told in crisp, action-driven rhymes from a young child’s point of view, From Apple Trees to Cider, Please! is a realistic account of how apple cider is pressed, flavored with the charm and vigor of a harvest celebration.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A mother and daughter go apple picking in a sprawling orchard, "past dappled leaves and through the loud/ and happy apple-picking crowd." Chernesky (Sun Above and Blooms Below) describes the process of turning apples into cider: cleaning them, dropping them in the shredder, and cranking the press ("Twist and press to squish and mash./ See the cider splish and splash!"). The bustling orchard hosts seasonal fixtures like pumpkin-headed scarecrows, tractor rides, and treats like cider doughnuts and fritters, which are sampled by the orchard's other high-spirited guests. Chernesky's playfully chirrupy rhymes and Patton's (PB&J Hooray) exuberant cartooning deliver a juicy taste of a quintessential autumnal experience. Ages 4 7.
