Here's the truth: this book is a ghost. No synopsis, no author credit in the data, no meaningful reviews, and a middling 3.9 Amazon rating that screams 'meh.' It's probably a perfectly fine collection of simple apple stories—safe, gentle, educational in that basic 'apples grow on trees' way—but in 2025, you have so many better options.

The 2003 publication date means it's likely showing its age in both illustration style and storytelling approach. If you're doing an apple unit and stumble across this at a library sale for 50 cents, sure, throw it in the bag. But if you're actively shopping for quality apple-themed books? Skip this one and grab something from a curated list with actual parent enthusiasm behind it.

Not bad, just forgettable—and with kids' attention being the precious resource it is, forgettable isn't good enough.
