What We Read at Morris Arboretum on September 9

Back to school time is here, but Story Time at Morris Arboretum continues! I made my way over there on September 9 to read stories about fall! The leaves haven't changed colors quite yet, but they will soon.

What We Read

• Who Loves the Fall?  by Bob Raczka ; illustrated by Judy Stead. - JJ RAC
• Lovely full page spreads with one word or small phrase illustrate reasons to love fall from apples to Thanksgiving!
•  Apple Harvest  by Calvin Harris. - JJ HAR
• Full page photographs and simple text illustrate how apples are harvested and what lovely treats they can become.
•  Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert.- JJ EHL
• Leaf Man goes where ever the wind goes. He travels North, South, East, and West past birds and animals and fields. This is a great book to read and then make leaf designs with the fall leaves. What can you make?

What We Did

• Sang my favorite opening and closing songs "If You'd Like to Hear a Story" and "The More We Read Together."
• Sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
• Recited a rhyme called "Little Apple."
• Sang "Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down."

Want to know what the words to the rhymes were? Send me a note through our "Contact Form" and select "Youth."
