Industry Reviews
K-Gr 2 Almost as well known as the story of the apple tree in the Garden of Eden is the childhood myth of swallowing an apple seed and having a tree grow in your stomach. Big sister Katie predicts irreversible consequences when Rosie accidentally swallows an apple seed. Rosie becomes more and more worried as Katie spins out her lie; she gives in to her own power needs and Rosie's worshipful gullibility. Life will never be the same again, as branches grow out of her ears, Rosie speculates, and "all she could be when she grew up was a hat rack." On the other hand, Katie kindly points out, apples would be plentiful, and branches could be decorated for birthdays. By the time the truth is out, Rosie misses her apple tree a little. Meanwhile, readers have had an imaginative journey of fantastic possibilities, aptly illustrated with airy, humorous paintings that are full of action. In addition to the theme of learning how to make one's own conclusions without relying only on others is the idea that change has both positive and negative possibilities. A lighthearted, honest celebration of the imagination. Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME
