Review

A family is spending the day at an apple orchard on a beautiful fall day. They enjoy the colorful foliage while climbing apple ladders into the trees and finding the best apples available. They race one another to see who can fill his or her basket the fastest. Afterward they come back to the farm and are offered apple cider, apple pie and apple donuts. The rhyming words, appropriate large font and pictures that illustrate what is taking place make this book ideal for the beginning level 1 reader to whom it is targeted. Youngsters will want to head to the nearest local apple orchard after reading this book. Consider it for your beginner reader shelves. This would also be good for a seasonal display.

Overall Book Score: good
