Big Red Apple by Tony Johnston

This book is about how an apple seed can grow into a big apple tree. The pictures are interesting because they aren't drawn but rather the illustrator Judith Hoffman Corwin uses fabric and a quilting technique. It's a little gross because a worm and a bird eat part of the apple then a little boy comes along and eats the whole apple. That part was a little disturbing for me, I'm hoping he was poor and an orphan so that eating the apple can be justified. Looking at the pictures he looks like a clean well kept boy so I'm going to assume he just needs to take some time to inspect his food before he devours it. This book would be good for a reader who has a strong stomach and who is learning to read.
