🍂🎨 APPLE PICKING, PUMPKIN PATCHES, & COLORFUL LEAVES GALORE! The seasons are changing, and our freshly UPDATED book & activity pairings are full of inspiration for fall! 🧡
🍎 Teachers, librarians, & parents, here's one of our favorite pairings of the bunch:
🍂 In IF YOU FIND A LEAF by Aimée Sicuro, a young artist gathers fallen leaves & imagines each one into something new. A Japanese Zelkova becomes a boat, a Honey Locust becomes a swing -- and if your kiddo does the paired activity from Unlocking fun, colorful leaves they find become a fox tail. 🦊
🎬 You can join Amy for more fun with leaves on Ready Set Draw! Head outside and collect a few that you like, look at their shapes, & collage along with her 👉 www.kidlit.tv/IfYouFindALeafReadySetDraw

✨NEW READ ALOUD VIDEO!✨ 🐶🎸 📖 About the book: Mrs. Crockess is a drum-playing dog in pink glasses, and Ivy Briggs is her very best girl. When Ivy snaps a guitar string in the middle of practice, the two race to the music shop before it closes. The only problem is Mrs. Crockess has no pockets -- dogs generally don't. So how will she carry her money, her keys, her phone, her map, her bone, her lip balm...
