It's all about being new in school, and so it perfect for kindergartners. The little girl is scared she won't have any friends, and just wants to stay in her beloved apple tree. So she makes a doll out of an apple and takes it to school.

So many times I come here and find great recommendations -- then head over to my library's website to put things on hold. :-) Thanks for compiling lists like these.<BR/><BR/>Sidenote: I continue to be amazed by how prolific Gail Gibbons is.

The illustrations are quite charming, and the book as a whole provides a clear description of the life of an apple tree throughout the year in very simple terms, without talking down to the young reader/listener -- so I highly recommend it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-9385503852705373242008-09-29T01:49:00.000-04:002008-09-29T01:49:00.000-04:00This is why I love your blog.
