We are starting Memoria Press Second Grade Enrichment Guide and the first book selection for our studies is this one, Johnny Appleseed: A Poem by Reeve Lindbergh. The first discovery I was surprised by is that Reeve is actually a female, which I wouldn't have assumed from the name. After we read through this one, I discovered there is actually an animated story version of it streaming on Discovery Education. As I had one day left before our summer free trial subscription expired we were able to watch it (multiple times actually by request). While it is a poem, it was not overly poetic in my opinion, but told a story well. There was a repeat character of a girl to old woman Hannah Goodwin that John Chapman visited, as she grew so did her apple trees and her gratitude for Johnny Appleseed.The pictures in this book provide for endless looking and spying of this and that through out. The creatures are so small and so many and it is very neat to discover. The poetic prose tells a good portion of Johnny Appleseed's story, but the Afterword makes it complete and gives more facts and details on his life. I enjoyed the way that Reeve put together this tale of Johnny Appleseed and the illustrations of Kathy Jacobsen truly pull it together. Once again, Memoria Press has chosen a great recommendation for a spring board of a unit study. Reading this book alongside Apples by Jacqueline Farmer was uber fun and educational.

 I’m a homeschooler who prizes good literature for kids and this book is 100% that. We are learning about Johnny Appleseed in our co-op and this picture book brings it to life. We love finding animals in the picture and reading about the life of John Chapman. My kids are 3 and 5 and loved it, and I’d say it’s suitable for older elementary kids, too. Bonus is that they are also learning about quilts in art class, and this book features some quilts in the illustration borders.

This book has beautiful illustrations and the text is written in poetic from that makes for an enjoyable reading experience. It does have a slightly religious theme but that is more due to the historical nature acknowledging that John Chapman was a missionary and carried a bible along with planting apple seeds. My 2 year old loves this book and its a gray way to introduce non-fiction.

Don’t question it, just buy it! This has to be the most beautiful book I’ve ever purchased. The illustrations are gorgeous and there is so much detail I could look at them forever finding new things. The story/poem is also perfectly done. We homeschool so I used this as part of our curriculum for September/Johnny Appleseed/Apple theme. My kids loved it and requested it over the golden book Johnny Appleseed book I also bought. They both compliment each other well so I would recommend them both, but absolutely hands down this one for the illustrations. Also yes there is religious reference in this book but that’s part of Johnny Appleseed so I have no idea why people are complaining about it. It’s not pushing religious agenda, it states he carries a bible and that he doesn’t harm animals because they are Gods creatures, and the apple trees were Gods gift to earth and his plan. The little golden book has religious reference also. I don’t think it would be right to leave out a big part of who Johnny Appleseed was.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely tale of pioneer times
Reviewed in Canada on October 7, 2009

Although Johnny Appleseed is known as a legend of the American frontier, I believe that his story nicely describes what pioneer times were like for children from Canada as well. I got this book to share with my children to show them something of how wild and untamed both Canada and the US were at the time the pioneers were spreading across the land. Imagine a land with no farms and no apple trees!

The folk-art illustrations in the book are interesting to look at. The artist did a good job of showing how the pioneers of the early 1800s were working hard to carve homes for themselves out of the wilderness. At the end of the book the land looks much more "settled," in part due to the orchards of apple trees that John Chapman helped to plant.

The short biography of the man at the end of the book is excellent--it tells only the facts about him (which are inspiring enough in themselves), leaving out all the tall tales that exist surrounding Johnny Appleseed.

In all, a lovely and educational book to add to a home library. I especially recommend it for children interested in pioneer times.
