Max & Mo Go Apple Picking: Ready-to-Read Level 1

Max & Mo Go Apple Picking is a Level 1 “Ready-To-Read” book. This is part of a series featuring the same characters.Max and Mo are hamsters in a classroom. They are tired of eating corn, and when they see a sign about apple picking, they are very excited. They sneak out of their cage, and get a chance to do some “apple picking” and applesauce tasting of their own. They even make apple prints!This book is intended for beginning readers. Hallmarks of Level 1 include: “Word repetition, familiar words and phrases, and simple sentences.”“They watched. Apples got cut. Apples got cooked. And apple bits dropped.”The book also includes instructions for making apple prints, and a recipe for making applesauce. The recipe is easy for children to follow with easy-to-follow steps like “WASH” and “CUT”. Of course, this is all supposed to be done with adult supervision.The illustrations are cute. Max and Mo are very funny, and my daughter liked seeing them working together and scrambling around the classroom. They managed to get into quite a bit of mischief!I would recommend Max & Mo Go Apple Picking. This would be a wonderful book to read at any point in the year, but it would be especially relevant in the fall when many families go apple picking. Max & Mo is a fun series of easy reader books, and this seems like such a fun way to practice those emerging reading skills!

Adorable book to use with young kids before introducing the project of apple stamping. Max and Mo apple stamp to show the stars and apple shapes. They also discuss making apple sauce. I am beyond thrilled to add this book to my kinder unit on apples!

Max and Mo are my preschooler's new favorite series. These are "Ready to Read" level 1 ("Starting to Read") books. My boy can read short sentences and sound out new words, but doesn't enjoy reading independently yet. He can read these books with just a little help.The Max and Mo books are formulaic. The two hamsters live at a school/preschool. The kids work on some activity. The hamsters get interested and find their own way to do the activity. The Hamster's version is included with pictures and instructions as a short activity for the reader to do at home.The included activity for this book is apple prints--using apple slices as hand stamps with finger paint "ink" to make "apple prints."

This is sweet little book for beginning readers. I use it with my Pre-K class. They quite enjoy it!

Fun fall book!

I bought this book because my 7 yr old son brought it home from the library in his school and he liked it a lot. Very good for children learning to read in first grade.

Kids loved it

Another great "apple" book for my apple unit for first graders!
