This book would be great to read to children learning about apples and how they grow. Children get to explore an apple tree and all the life around it such as, the wiggly worms bellow, the birds that live up high, and of course the fruit that the tree grows. This book would be best for a smaller group of children. You use a flashlight to find what's hiding inside all the pages. ( )
