Packed with good stuff!

I love this book for the 5 to 8 year old child. There's a little bit of lots of things in it. It is a sweet story of perseverance with very appealing illustrations. Besides demonstrating the idea that sticking with something (growing apples, playing baseball or whatever) leads to success, there is a nice seasonal component to the story. There are some terrific illustrations of insects and even specific directions for hitting the ball with the bat (which my students enjoyed trying out). There is also a simple recipe for Apple Crisp that my second graders enjoyed making. This book would make a reat addition to any primary classroom.
