Mi manzano / My Apple Tree
By David Baur
This is an early reader book with short statement sentences in a large font. While the content is minimal, this would be an excellent book for a teacher to begin teaching reading for content. The content and pictures could be used to teach about science's life cycle and seasons. The photographs enhance the text and depict modern dwarf apple trees, not old-fashioned 40-foot trees, as so many books do. The Spanish/ English edition has the sentence in both Spanish and English on each page. This is most useful for teaching Spanish-speaking children to learn English.
