1. Learn About Apples Together...
A trip to the apple orchard is full of fun! Even if your family doesn’t have an apple orchard nearby, your child can learn about this favorite fall fruit with Peppa Goes Apple Picking. In this sweet story, Peppa and her family come together to bake Granny Pig an apple pie with freshly picked apples from the orchard. Discuss the book together while your child munches on apple slices. Talking about books after reading them helps to develop your child’s reading comprehension skills.
