In this lovely Swedish import, two impish children introduce the changes each season brings to their apple tree, beginning with bare, snow-covered boughs in winter. When spring arrives, the tree's riot of glorious blooms begins the cycle of flower, fruit, and harvest, until winter arrives again. In spare, elegant language, just two or three sentences per page, Naslund presents very basic facts about the growing cycle: "Pink buds and white blossoms show that [the tree] is ready to make apples again." The text and evocative and whimsical artwork, which showcases many varieties of apple, will surely encourage kids to wonder about the miracle of growing things and the incredible diversity found in such an everyday fruit.
