No idea why this isn't hitting me the way it should be, because it's perfect on paper for fall storytime.

The illustration style is really neat - I loved the way the little girl's hair was done. It did get a little bit busy at times, but as a whole, I still liked the pictures.
As far as text, I feel like the rhyme gave the story less impact. I found myself skimming over it, because that style of rhyme is usually for much, much younger kids, but the story of making cider is for kiddos who are a little bit older.

A great book just in time for fall! The mother and daughter go to the orchard to see the apples grow and learn how cider is made. Then, (surprise!) there's an apple festival where they can taste other yummy apple treats. It was sort of a "How it's Made" for preschoolers. Perfect for an apple story time.

From Apple Trees to Cider, Please! follows a little girl and her mother as they go to the apple orchard. As they journey through the orchard they follow the process of and apple becoming apple cider. It's a wonderful journey filled with a delightfully rhyming text and the colorful illustrations of Julia Patton. This book would be a great read before taking your own children to the apple orchard, or and excellent addition to a teacher's unit on autumn.
