This is a beautifully illustrated book that uses sweet, simple terms to walk a child through the life cycle of an apple. My 19 month old absolutely loves it, though I think it could be thoroughly enjoyed by older children as well. The words are brief, allowing the reader to keep it simple or fill in with more complex dialog and make it appropriate for any age. What a beautiful way to get children to learn about our Earth.

I just received this book today. At the first touch I immediately noticed how thick the pages are - I felt like I was turning the artist's original canvas. Each page had vibrant illustrations set against fine lines simulating parchment. The story is equally as beautiful, as it tells the recursive story of one red apple from fruit, to seed, through growth to fruit again. This book can truly be appreciated by multiple audiences at various levels. As a mother of one young son, I can't help but think this is our story too.
