Our Apple Tree

by Görel Kristina Näslund and Christopher Wormell

Book Overview

Here's a whimsical and very useful look at the life cycle of the apple tree. With two helpful tree sprites as guides, readers travel from spring, when the apple tree blossoms, through summer, when the fruit grows, to fall and the harvest. Along the way, you'll learn about the life of the tree and the animals that visit - from insects that pollinate the flowers to deer that eat the fallen fruit.

A wonderfully entertaining picturebook ideal for young readers ages 3 through 7

An apple tree is hard at work all year round. In the winter it is getting ready to make apples. All through the spring, summer, and into the fall, the apples are growing. Throughout the process, from bees drawing nectar and pollinating the apple blossoms, to birds and worms attracted to them as food, to their eventually to being harvested for people to enjoy, apple trees are a constant benefit. Our Apple Tree, engagingly written by Gorel Kristina Naslund and superbly illustrated by Kristina Digman follows one particular apple tree though all the seasons of the year in a wonderfully entertaining picturebook ideal for young readers ages 3 through 7. For parents there is even a very "kitchen cook" friendly recipe for Apple Crisp in the back!
