Hungry Bunny by Claudia Rueda

Please help Bunny harvest apples from a tall tree and bring them down a hill in a wagon. It’s not an easy trip and Bunny needs your help to shake, jiggle, blow, rock, and push. It will be worth it in the end if you like apple pie! [picture book, ages 3 and up]

What’s Next Door? by Nicola O’Bryne
