A sweet autumn read for the tots who are learning to count!

The illustrations are darling, you count forwards to ten and then backwards, watch an apple pie be made and see several other fall-ish activities too.

Ages: 2 - 4

We had a little Johnny Appleseed/Apple celebration: watch my reel!

Content Considerations: nothing to note.

**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide Content Considerations, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!

If you’re considering a book or looking for a new title to read, check out my highly categorized shelves, read my reviews and Friend or Follow me to spiff up your feed with clean, wholesome, living books.

I have an Instagram account that’s pretty bookishly unique too!

Cute book. Easy read. Uses the nursery rhyme one little…two little…ten little to help beginner readers become engaged. Easy, familiar words used. Short sentences and few words per page. Illustrations are fun and colorful.

my preschool friends always love to sing parts of this one with me during our apple week

[Mama Bearian]

In this book, a family goes to an orchard to pick apples, then goes home to bake an apple pie. It is a simple book with a great counting element and that is simple enough for toddlers to understand.

This is a sweet little 📙 book. It teaches little ones how to count to 10.

Took the rhyme of One Little Indian, Two little Indian, Three Little Indians and replaced it with apples. I like the soft illustrations colored with pastel watercolors.

[Crystal Mason]

This is a nice book that incorporates counting with baking an apple pie. I recommend it.

[Jessica Allen]

The beginning of the school year/fall is the best time to read this story. Counting and families working together to get to an end result is the focus. Children would love to hear this story and then tell about what they like to do or eat during the fall/autumn. Cute book.
