I am a preschool teacher and I picked this book out of the library because I was doing a unit on apples. The bright pictures and simple words attracted me to this book. The children in my class loved the book. They got so excited to find recipes in the back of the book. Of course we have already tried two to of them. I plan on buying the book to share with my future classes and my two little boys at home.
We checked this book out of the libaray in haste on day, as we were leaving. It is a beautiful book, with bright, simple illustrations, that tells a story about Apple Farmer Annie, what she grows (different kinds of apples), what she does with them (apple sauce, muffins, etc.), where she goes and how she sells her goods (farmer's market). There aren't a lot of words on the pages, but there is alot going on visually. While the illustrations themselves may be somewhat simple...each page is packed with many, many objects. It gives the story teller an opportunity to expand on the story and get your child involved by either explaining or having the child explain what is going on. For example, there are all kinds of apples listed, different colors of apples, types of kitchen utensils, and Annie herself is involved on the pages actually doing the things described. It also presents a logical sequence of events: growing, harvesting, preparing, selling, etc. As an added bonus, there is a recipe section at the back. We didn't get a chance to try any, maybe we will have to buy the book for ourselves. Cute book, but maybe for ages a little younger than listed, due to the lack of words.
I chose this book from the library to compliment an apple unit I'm doing with my daughter (24 months). Of the stack of nine apple books I found, this is by far her favorite.Each page spread has about 10-15 words (two sentences) in large type. The pictures are colorful and bold. They are simple yet provide enough detail and variety that there are many opportunities for volcabulary growth and side discussions.There are three recipes included in the back of the book. They look delicious, but we haven't tried them (we will stick to healthier versions).The story line and illustrations are fairly realistic (no talking animals, etc.). My only complaint along these lines is that the entire story seems to take place in one day (harvesting, cooking, driving to town, selling at the market, and coming home), which is more than a bit ambitious. :)We have read this book aloud many, many times over the past week. Both of us are still enjoying it, and I have even found my daughter "reading" this book to her dolls.
One of my favorite books for my 3yo daughter. I love how the story is inspiring my little girl to think like an entrepreneur already. We have apple trees at our property and she loves relating to the story. The recipes included in the back are a bonus for me and provide a mother daughter follow up activity!
This review is for the paper back version. I would advice against the board book version as it does not do full justice. This book teaches a lot in a very simplistic manner. I love the cute and colourful illustrations of the farmer girl Annie's house, orchard, pets, describing her making all kinds of delicious goodies with apples and efficiently selling them all at the farmers market. This is the best apple theme book out there. It even has Annie's recipes for apple sauce, apple muffin and applesauce cake in the last page! Sure to be a favourite. Recommended age would be 2-6 yrs.
My 3 year old loves this book. Perfect for fall when apples are in season. It discusses picking of apples, that apples come in different colors, foods and drinks you can make with apples, farmers markets, and the satisfaction Annie has in being tired and happy about having her own apple farm. It has enough words per page to keep a toddler interested, but not enough that it looses their attention. Good through at least age 4. We love it.
My two-year-old LOVES this book. He's always asking to read it. He likes to point out the apples, the trees, the dog, the cat, etc. Plus, he seems to really be engaged in the story whenever we read it. It's a great addition to our little home library!
It's not the best, most wonderful book ever, but it's not bad.It has simple text and simple artwork, and is well-suited for toddlers, preschoolers, and young school-aged children.I especially like the recipes in the back. I *always* like recipes in the back :)
