November is such a fun month to read aloud to your class!  There are so many engaging picture books that you can share for Halloween and fall.  This month, in the Colorful Apple Book Club, you’ll find some of my favorites!  There are books about turkeys, pumpkins and delicious food!  Check out the November resources in the Colorful Apple Book Club.

November Resources in the Colorful Apple Book Club

A Turkey for Thanksgiving
by: Eve Bunting

A Turkey for Thanksgiving is a great book for teaching students about making predictions before, during and after reading.  Students might be surprised by the ending of this story!

In November
by: Cynthia Rylant

In November, the air grows cold and the earth and all of its creatures prepare for winter. Students will be exposed to different types of figurative language with this powerful book.

Pumpkin Jack
by: Will Hubbell

When his beloved jack-o’-lantern starts to decompose, a young boy puts it outside and watches it transform from pumpkin—to seed—to pumpkin again.  Students will learn all about the pumpkin life cycle with this lesson plan!

Fry Bread
by: Kevin Noble Maillard

Fry Bread shares how wonderful this food is and its representation of a Native American culture.  Students will learn about its importance and share their own food traditions.

Sweep
by: Louise Greig

Ed’s bad mood begins as something really small, hardly a thing at all. But before long it grows, gathers pace, and spreads through the whole town.  Teach students how to not get “swept up” in their feelings and ways for dealing with big emotions.
