Apples, Apples Everywhere! Learning about Apple Harvests

This is a nonfiction book about harvesting apples in a picture book style. The book reads along like a story with drawn illustrations, but teaches children about apples and their harvest. A family travels to an apple orchard and partakes in the apple picking process. The boy and girl help tell the story with their speech bubbles. The book teaches about the different kinds of apples, storing them, the worms that can be found in them, and that they are used for pies, games and cider. At the end of the book there are directions on making a dried apple wreath, a glossary, more books to read, Internet sites, and index. This is a nice, simple book to pull out in the fall when apple season is starting, but I didn’t find the information and illustrations to be too intriguing.
