I’ve been doing a lot of reading. . . . but mostly for school, so that is the reason for no adult book posts. I’m also reading through some of the “classics” but I’m not motivated to write posts on any of them; I just finished The Portrait of a Lady, and I’m currently reading Anna Karenina. Both are long books!

Here are 2 books that David enjoys. Both of them remind me of fall, and both of them make me hungry.

 The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall. This book shows what an apple tree looks like in all four seasons, and it includes the life cycle of a robin family for fun. One of these days I need to make an apple pie. The book has the recipe, and I have all the ingredients, just not the time. Great book, great illustrations.

 If You Give a Dog a Donut by Laura Numeroff. I didn’t know that this book existed.  I thought I had read all the “If You Give a _____ a _________” series when I taught preschool!  David loves it, probably because he loves donuts. And he just went apple-picking like the dog did. Too bad there is not a recipe for donuts in the back of this book.
