Customer Review #1:
 charming book for young child
We read this book over and over. My just-turned-two year old likes me to talk about the pictures with her, and has fun identifying the objects and finding Annies dog (who appears on every page). My three year old enjoys the story of Annies harvest and trip to the city farmers market. Its a story about farming that my urban children can identify with -- making the connection with the farmers market we visit on weekends. The illustrations are distinctive and cheery. Its one of our most-read books.

Apples
I am a preschool teacher and I picked this book out of the library because I was doing a unit on apples. The bright pictures and simple words attracted me to this book. The children in my class loved the book. They got so excited to find recipes in the back of the book. Of course we have already tried two to of them. I plan on buying the book to share with my future classes and my two little boys at home.

Customer Review #3:
 Unique! Not your regular story book.
We checked this book out of the libaray in haste on day, as we were leaving. It is a beautiful book, with bright, simple illustrations, that tells a story about Apple Farmer Annie, what she grows (different kinds of apples), what she does with them (apple sauce, muffins, etc.), where she goes and how she sells her goods (farmers market). There arent a lot of words on the pages, but there is alot going on visually. While the illustrations themselves may be somewhat simple...each page is packed with many, many objects. It gives the story teller an opportunity to expand on the story and get your child involved by either explaining or having the child explain what is going on. For example, there are all kinds of apples listed, different colors of apples, types of kitchen utensils, and Annie herself is involved on the pages actually doing the things described. It also presents a logical sequence of events: growing, harvesting, preparing, selling, etc. As an added bonus, there is a recipe section at the back. We didnt get a chance to try any, maybe we will have to buy the book for ourselves. Cute book, but maybe for ages a little younger than listed, due to the lack of words.
