“Johnny Appleseed by Reeve Lindbergh is one of my favorite children’s books. The poem tells the story of Johnny Appleseed in a delightful way, and this is a great introduction to poetry for children who tend to run away from it. The illustrations are excellent and complete the story itself. I have used this book many times in teaching fall unit studies, and the children always enjoy both the story and the colorful illustrations. The book also gives a brief account of John Chapman, who really lived and planted apple trees across America. I recommend this book to anyone who has children or who teaches them.”– Amazon Reviewer
