Review for "Bad Apple"

 This was a fun book at our house since something we have often said about a rough character is, "He was one bad apple."

I read it to our 5 1/2 year-old granddaughter who kept asking for me to read it over and over again. Our 8 year-old granddaughter saw the book sitting on the table and picked it up to read for herself.

Their favorite part is the ending.


 

FROM THE PUBLISHER
One bad apple is up to no good in this lively, rhyming romp about actions and consequences.

This is Apple. He’s not a normal, nice kind of apple. Not a peaceful piece of fruit, no siree. He’s rotten to the core.

In this irreverent new book by award-winning author Huw Lewis Jones, a truly terrible piece of fruit is wreaking havoc far beyond the rim of the fruit bowl. Bad Apple is dead set on making life miserable for Pear, Plum, Cat, and Spoon, and it seems like no one will stop him. He pinches, steals, and breaks his way through the kitchen―until he encounters Snake. Could Snake be a match for the most mischievous snack in the house?

Illustrated in a deadpan, painterly style by Ben Sanders, Bad Apple is sure to entertain the entire family.


Illustrated in color throughout
