I loved everything about this book from the front cover to the back cover and everything in between. I live in apple country and I think apples represent so much to all of us. The illustrations we sharp and colorful, some of the pages I could print and put in a frame. The story of the life of an apples was wonderful. I definitely want a copy to own.

The illustrations really make this book, but the accompanying story is informative and interesting too, though very sparse. The story is simple enough for beginning readers (despite the atypically shaped letters) and would make a fabulous read aloud book one to one or for groups.

I'm loving apples and everything apple-related right now, so it is a distinct possibility that I overrated this one. However, I like that the text is simple and that the illustrations are really nice, so this will make a nice story time selection. The kids are going to be so sick of apples by the time winter rolls around!!
Incredibly beautiful illustrations and text. This is a gentle, but powerful read. However, it does have a fold-out page and I probably wouldn't have gotten it for the library if I'd known since they tend to get ripped on the first or second perusal. I would buy this as a gift without hesitation, though.
The artwork is gorgeous. But the nice fold up page to show the apple tree growing tall is going to get killed by the first few toddlers whose overindulgent moms don't restrict their use of this book. And I don't think this book needed any sort of gimmick.

The illustrations in this book are amazing! The story traces apples from seed, to tree, to market, and beyond. Not sure about leaving the cores for the birds to eat, though.
This a beautiful book perfect to read aloud to group of children...The illustrations are bright and charming. I will definitely add it to my group of books for story time.
Simple text and wonderful, old-fashioned illustrations which to me were reminiscent of the old Sesame Street animated shorts.

A book to use with a wide age range. Simple text for the youngest; emphasis on verbs(pick, drive, buy, enjoy) makes it useful for elementary age. Very pleasant folk art type illustrations.

Great pictures, good for toddlers, non-fiction j634.11
Growing and the seasons are themes here.
The illustrations are wonderful.
gorgeous illustrations
Beautiful artwork.
The illustrations are really the main selling point of this picture book. I adore the images and would love to frame each and every page and hang them up in my living room. The text is simple and short. The book tells the story of an apple, from picking it off the tree to eating it, planting the seeds and growing a big apple tree.
Intriguing illustrations evoke cozy feelings of crisp autumn mornings and the deliciousness of apples in this simple story showing how the seed from one red apple can grow and make more as a family spends a delightful day apple picking.
Fantastic, fun illustrations
