Apples A to Z

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jake Parker. This alphabetical tour of apple science and customs sometimes strains for facts, resulting in the uninspired "E is for Eating" and "K is for Kitchen." Some explanations--like the importance of pollen and what characterizes a fruit--are elucidating; more advanced terms (deciduous; grafting) may confuse young readers. The animal characters are superfluous but cute. Apple-related activities, jokes, and expressions are appended.
