Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our first story was\u00a0Apple<\/span> by Nikki McClure.<\/a> \u00a0This beautiful book uses single words and black, white and red images to tell the journey of an apple from tree, to pocket, to compost, to tree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second book we shared was Pepo and Lolo and the Red Apple<\/span> by Ana Martin Larra\u00f1aga. \u00a0Pepo the pig and Lolo the chick want a beautiful red apple from the tree. \u00a0But it is too high, and they cannot reach it! \u00a0Will these two friends figure out a way to get the yummy apple? \u00a0Of course they will — using teamwork! \u00a0Unfortunately, we no longer have a copy of this for check out in the library, but you can check out the other book in the Pepo and Lolo series<\/a>.<\/p>\n
