Illustrated by
Julia Patton.
At an apple orchard, a red-haired girl and mom pick apples and help turn them into cider. The bouncy rhyming text celebrates the process and all things fall: scarecrows, mums, and the festival of pies and apple cider donuts at book's end. Cartoonish illustrations bursting with greens, oranges, and russets are a touch askew, with popped perspectives and mysterious hands operating the cider press.
