Summary: Ana (Annie) is an apple farmer. Page by page the book tells about Ana the apple farmer and what exactly goes into being an apple farmer. Ana has to wait till her apples are ripe which is usually around fall. She picks these apples and then uses them for other things besides just selling at the market. After she sorts them- she uses some to make cider, she uses some for applesauce, and some for muffins. The pages are very brief descriptions but the pictures show the story moreso. The narratives- although brief- also include the English version to this book. The main text is written in Spanish- but translated directly below in English.
How Would Use: First I would use words in the book to help build vocabulary- like the word orchard or cider. This would be a fun book to use to teach about farmers and then even could have the students make something with apples provided. You can actually make ornaments out of applesauce, glue, and cinnmon- this would be neat and creative way to use this story with a craft.
