"It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man." Henry David Thoreau - American poet (1817 - 1862) Guaranteed to be a favorite among your child's collection of picture books, take a fun, entertaining, educational, and wonderfully illustrated trip into an apple orchard where an old apple tree resides. Watch the old apple tree wake from her deep, winter slumber as the spring sunshine turns the orchard into an explosion of colors, smells and sounds! Suddenly the trees in the orchard are bursting with blossoms and the honey bees gather pollen and nectar. Watch the little blossoms develop into beautiful, red, delicious apples. When the summer days grow shorter, and the nights get colder, the old apple tree is happy to share her apples with the farmer, and the apples are sold at the market. Some apples are pressed into juice; some are cooked and made into apple sauce; and some apples from the old apple tree are cooked in apple pies. But one lucky apple is taken home by a young brother and sister who learn from their mother that the little seeds inside of their apple slices can grow into an apple tree if the seeds are planted and nurtured. Years pass and the children forget about the little apple tree they planted many years prior. But one year, as the summer days get shorter and the nights grow colder, the now-grown children take their own children to the orchard and discover that the old apple tree has been replaced by the tree they had nurtured many years previous as children. The cycle is repeated as their own children enjoy apple slices from the very tree they had planted as children. A fun, entertaining and educational story with illustrations that will brighten your day. Get your copy now! You will not be disappointed!
