This 1989 picture book story tells of mother, father, and young daughter traveling to a small farm in autumn to pick a bushel basket of apples from the orchard and a pumpkin from the vine for Halloween. As the story ends, mother is giving the apples* away to trick-or-treaters, while on the following page the daughter is given a candy bar for her trick-or-treating fun.

Simple illustrations with just enough detail to please the eye of young and old alike.

* I enjoy fresh apples, but does anyone give them out for Halloween anymore?
