Review: Apple Countdown by Joan Holub #AtoZChallenge





My review:
Did you know that apples are 25% water and that is why they float? Well, I didn't either. This is just one of the facts written on the inside covers of this cute counting book.

A class takes a field trip to an apple orchard. Along the way, they count down from twenty. Items in the countdown are the number of kids on the bus, the number of steps to the farm, and the number of ducks in the pond. Of course, there is a whole bunch more to count and a load of trivia about apple growing.

I enjoyed this book. The whole book was done in rhyme which made it appealing. Another things I liked about the book was the students were all diverse characters, including their teacher, Mr. Yee. Each had colorful names and clothing too.

I loved this book as a whole and is quite different from usual counting books. I give this book 4 stars.

I will have to get this for my 3 year old great niece. We have been working on counting. Great start to the A-Z.

I will have to check this book out. I teach English to Chinese children and am always looking for books for them to read and enjoy in class.

I am at Transformed Nonconformist. I usually write humor pieces, but I am getting serious this month. I'm writing about people who have deeply impacted my life.

Sounds like an interesting book! Thanks for sharing this. Apples are delicious... sometimes even Red Delicious. Ha ha.
