Up, up, up! It's Apple-Picking Time

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kitty Harvill & Kitty Harvill. A boy's bouncy first-person narration describes his visit to his grandparents' farm. Myles and his family spend the afternoon picking apples in Granny and Grandpa's orchard; the following day they sell the fruit from a roadside stand. This old-fashioned, slice-of-life episode is accompanied by appealing illustrations, which resemble cut-paper collage, and a recipe for "Granny's Microwave-Baked Apples."
