Apples Here!

Plot Summary

Even in winter, there are apples here, hidden in the trees. And when spring comes, there are apples in blossoms."'Apples here,' calls the farmer in the fall. 'Jonagolds, Empires, Crispins—all kinds of apples.'" With beautiful, realistic paintings and spare text, Will Hubbell captures the change of the seasons, the excitement of apple-picking time, and familiar scenes of apples in our daily lives.

Reviews

"The brief text is clear and informative enough to satisfy the very young and to stimulate questions from slightly older children. ... This welcome companion ... is as glossy, crisp, and appealing as the subjects themselves." School Library Journal

"The bright colored-pencil artwork follows kids through a blossoming orchard, as they play in leafy trees during summer, and then to a farmer's market before showing the kinds and uses of apples. Behind the science here, kids will find lessons on process, patience, discovery, and hope." Booklist

"Hubbell...poses children and apple trees together in every season, and writes evocatively of the apple's annual cycle, from dormant winter bud to farmers' market and applesauce for latkes."
