Synopsis
Describes an apple tree as it grows leaves and flowers and then produces its fruit, while in its branches robins make a nest, lay eggs, and raise a family. Includes a recipe for apple pie.

Two sisters observe the seasons of the year as they watch over the tree in their yard that "grows the best part of an apple pie". In the winter the tree is brown and barren, in the spring it sprouts leaves and apple blossoms, in the summer the apples begin to grow, and in the fall the apples are picked and turned into apple pie. Illustrated with colorful cut-paper collages.

Publisher's Note
The changing seasons bring a tasty surprise in this bright picture book from the author/illustrator team of It's Pumpkin Time!. Two young sisters watch in fascination as their apple tree changes, from bare in winter to bursting with pink blossoms in spring, and as robins build a nest. When autumn comes, the small green apples have grown big enough for picking--and for pie! Full color.

Industry Reviews
"Halpern uses soft greens, browns, and pinks in the cut-paper collages; careful shading, painting, and layering give the illustrations dimensionality, with the textured nest and marbled tree trunk especially effective. An appealing study for your children."
Kirkus Reviews - None Given (08/15/1996)

"The seemingly touchable quality of the robins' nest, the coarsely textured tree bark, a windswept rain day, and a reappearing orange tabby are just some of the well-executed details which will delight young and old readers alike."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Pam McCuen (12/19/1996)

"Shari Halpern's illustrations are fun, while the explanations are simple enough to appeal to the very young."
