Editorial Review: Product Description: These are the apples, juicy and red, that went in the pie, warm and sweet, that Papa baked... for guess who! Average Rating:

The format is a story line that builds on each previous line, adding to then repeating all previous stanzas. Not complicated, cute, and with entertaining illustrations (as in the, "Sally, do you see the cow?" type). The illustration style is an "old" style, common in books from the 50s and 60s. I can see kids liking this book, and asking for it to be read repeatedly. Then the reader reads a portion of the line, and the listener finishes ... Read More
