Saturday At the Library

 

Johnny Appleseed : Children Story Time 

This stunningly illustrated classic is the perfect way to introduce young readers to the legend of Johnny Appleseed.

Rhymed text and illustrations relate the life of John Chapman, whose distribution of apple seeds and trees across the Midwest made him a legend and left a legacy still enjoyed today. Reeve Lindbergh's rhythmic verse is the perfect read aloud to share with the whole family, while Kathy Jakobsen's lush paintings bring to life this beloved classic story. 

Book Review : 

Johnny Appleseed by Reeve Lindbergh is a favorite children’s books. The poem tells the story of Johnny Appleseed in a delightful way, and this is a great introduction to poetry for children who tend to run away from it. The illustrations are excellent and complete the story itself. I have used this book many times in teaching fall unit studies, and the children always enjoy both the story and the colorful illustrations. The book also gives a brief account of John Chapman, who really lived and planted apple trees across America.

Saturday Kidz Crafts 

Materials:

• Red construction paper
• Scissors
• Coffee filter
• Water-soluable markers
• Spray bottle
• Glue stick

Directions:

1. Cut out an apple shape from red construction paper, then cut out a smaller apple shape from the middle of the first to create an open space.
2. Lay a coffee filter on a flat surface, and use water-soluable markers to draw all over the surface of the filter. Try to use at least three different colors.
3. Fill a spray bottle with water, then spritz the coffee filter until damp. The colors should spread and bleed into each other. Let the filter dry completely.
4. Glue the colorful coffee filter on to the back of the apple cut out so that the colors peek through the opening.
5. Hang in a sunny window.

Materials:

• Cardboard roll
• Scissors
• Cardstock paper
• White school glue
• Green tissue paper
• Green construction paper
• Red buttons or pom poms

• Directions:

1. Cut a cardboard roll in half lengthwise, then glue the cut roll vertically on to a sheet of cardstock paper. Allow the glue to dry completely.
2. Cut out small square of tissue paper, scrunch them up, then glue them around the top of the cardboard roll to create the leaves of the tree. Let the glue dry completely.
3. Glue small red buttons or pom poms around the tissue paper tree to become apples.

Maple Latte book and recipe

 

Happy Monday ! And today I have the perfect pairing Coffee and a book all about Maple latte....

Murder by Maple Latte
A Harper Sullivan Mystery (Book One)

Welcome to Maple Hollow, where the coffee is always fresh, the neighbors know your name, and murder is never on the menu.

Harper Sullivan thought she'd left the excitement behind when she returned home to run Maple & Bean Coffee Roastery, the cozy café at the heart of Maple Hollow. Life is simple—serve great coffee, catch up with old friends, and enjoy the charm of small-town living.

Then the town's most influential businessman is found dead during the annual Harvest Festival.

What first appears to be a tragic accident quickly becomes something far more sinister. As whispers of greed, hidden agendas, and long-buried secrets spread through the community, Harper finds herself working alongside Sheriff Luke Bennett to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

The deeper Harper digs, the more she realizes that even the friendliest towns can hide dangerous secrets—and someone is willing to kill to keep the past buried.

Perfect for fans of clean, traditional cozy mysteries, Murder by Maple Latte blends clever puzzles, memorable characters, small-town charm, and a touch of slow-burn romance into a mystery you'll want to solve with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

Welcome to Maple Hollow.

Your table at Maple & Bean is waiting.

Book Review:

A good clean cozy with a mystery to solve and coffee in a magical small town. With interesting character, make sure you enjoy it with a cup of coffee.
