Our Favorite Apples

A perfect apple picking adventure from Caldecott Honor winner Grace Lin sure to delight prereaders and preschoolers alike.

This fall-ready favorite celebrates autumn fun and that math is for every kid introducing the concept of sorting by color after a day at the orchard.

Manny, Olivia, and Mei go apple picking and sort their red, green, and yellow apples by color. But then they find an apple that’s all three colors. What should they do? A playful exploration of sorting, classifying, and friendship.
