Four Seasons Theme

The story is about urbanisation and how a house in the countryside becomes surrounded by development and technology before finally being 'rescued', but the theme of the changing seasons and the apple trees can't be missed.

After reading this story, talk to your children about how trees change from season to season. Ask questions about their knowledge of trees at different times of the year.
