The True Tale of Johnny Appleseed

by Margaret Hodges

Book Overview

This is a lovely version of an eccentric bit of American history. The text describes a man with a different outlook on life-a man who believed that other creatures have just as much right to be on the earth as humans. Johnny Appleseed lived his life true to his philosophy; he carried news between the settled East and the newly settled West and planted groves of apple trees in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. Every other page presents a full-page illustration...

An inspiring book

This book begins simply of his life and continues with his journeys as he plants his apple seeds and trees. It tells of his kindnesses to others: children, Indians, animals, the poor. The illustrations enhance the story written by Ms. Hodges. I highly recommend this book as a read aloud to a kindergartener as older children are listening.
