The Apple Doll

32 pp. | Farrar | August, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-30380-8 $16.00
(4) K-3 Lizzy, nervous about starting school, makes herself a doll out of an apple from her favorite tree. The doll's lifelike face inspires her teacher and classmates to construct their own apple dolls, allowing Lizzy to overcome her shyness and make friends. Though the text is wordy, Kleven's textured mixed-media illustrations are comfortably homey. Instructions for creating an apple doll are appended.
