"Don't Eat the Teacher!" and "Up, Up, Up! It's Apple Picking Time"

Perhaps I was hungry when I picked out these two books. Of course, one is about things you shouldn't eat.

Don't Eat the Teacher
4 stars
Author/Illustrator: Nick Ward

This is a fun, silly book. Sammy Shark is going to his first day at school. The problem is: when he gets excited, he bites any and everything. School is so exciting.
Sammy is one friendly looking shark as are all the characters in this book. The colors and characters are great images.

Up, Up, Up! It's Apple Picking Time
4 stars
Author: Jody Fickes Shapiro
Illustrator: Kitty Harvill

There are hundreds of apple varieties. This book begins with a two page spread of a few of them along with their interesting names.
The story is about a family who gets up early one Saturday and drives to pick apples with their grandparents. They sell the apples on Sunday at their fruit stand.
The illustrations are colorful and basic. They have many apple varieties slipped into them.
The book ends with an apple recipe for some delicious microwave baked apples.
