Simple text and photographs describe how apples grow on trees.
Quick Summary
If you've got a kid who's just starting to crack the reading code, this little book is a solid pick. It follows the real journey of an apple from tiny flower to fruit ready for picking, with actual photos that make the whole process feel concrete and real for early readers. What I love is that it's not talking down to kids it's just straightforward and clear, which makes kids feel pretty proud when they can read it on their own. This works especially well for kids who are curious about where food comes from or anyone who loves nature walks. Parents will appreciate that it sneaks in some basic plant science without it feeling like homework. If your kid devours this one, they'd probably also like "How an Egg Grows" by the same author, which follows the same simple, photo-forward approach to teaching how living things develop.
