This used book is in Acceptable condition. This book came from a library. The life cycle of an apple, illustrated by acclaimed cut-paper artist Nikki McClure This board book, featuring Nikki McClure's signature papercuts, follows the journey of a bright red apple--the only splash of color in the otherwise black-and-white illustrations--as it travels from tree to harvest to snack to compost and, finally, to sprout. In the opening spread, a ripe, red apple falls from a tree, and a man gathers it to take home. His daughter takes the apple to school for lunch, but mistakenly drops it after taking a bite. On the final spread, the buried apple has produced an apple tree sprout. A single word complements each illustration, urging early readers to reflect on each stage in the apple's life.
