\nI used the original picture book, but I stopped at the page where all the letters fall out of the tree, where the board book ends. Right before I turned to that page, I asked, “All the letters are up in the tree! What do you think is going to happen next?”<\/em><\/p>\n
\nNarrative Skills are being able to describe things and to tell stories, and helps with comprehension. Ask your baby what happens next as you read together. They can’t answer now, but it’s a great habit to get into!<\/em><\/p>\n

\nAnimals who live in trees today! owl\/towel, bug\/rug, bee\/tree…and cat\/hat.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI was so amazingly bored by my usual fall books, all of which I have to edit down and skip pages to use in baby storytime, that I made my own this year. I had a blast. Follow the link for more about my book!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAs bright and pretty as they can be
\nAlong came the wind
\nBlowing all around
\nAnd one bright leaf
\nFell to the ground<\/p>\n
\nI forgot that Max ends up in a pile of leaves in this book!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYellow is the sun
\nSilver are the stars
\nWhen the day is done
\nOrange is the leaf
\nBrown is the tree
\nRed is the apple
\nFor you and me<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
