Although Moses doesn't completely succeed in clearly distinguishing between fact and legend, this lengthy text does offer a credible account of the man behind the myth. Depicted in a folk-art style, the skilled illustrations complement the conversational tone of the story. This picture-book biography is a nice addition to Johnny Appleseed lore.
