Autumn is my favorite season, and the legend of Johnny Appleseed is my favorite folk tale. I loved the books Fran Kramer used to make. She would make an 8.5" x11" color version for the teacher and a smaller black line book for the children. I decided I needed to write my own kindergarten-friendly version of Johnny's story for my class. We uploaded it today and you can find it right here. 
Here are a few sample pages to give you the flavor of the book.
I took my teacher copy to school last week and the children loved it. They especially like the refrain, "Go Johnny, go!" I can't wait to pass out their copies. They like having their own smaller version of the books we read in class.
This is a sample of two pages from the kid version.
And this is the last page in their book. I want to get as big a bang for my printing buck as I can, so I included a list of the sight words from the book and I've asked the parents to review them frequently with their children.
We begin week five tomorrow. It doesn't seem possible!
