We've found a few more that I'd like to share with you:
Apple Cider Making Days by Ann Purmell beautifully illustrates the symbiotic relationship between the apple orchard farmer and his/her orchard. Purmell thoroughly details the process of taking an apple to make cider. I also love that this book subtly and overtly promotes families and extended families coming together to help one another and enjoy the beauty of the season!
The Life Cycle of an Apple by Ruth Thompson gives a simple explanation of the life cycle of an apple from seed to tree to table. I'd recommend reading it to a child as young as 2 years due to the short and simple explanations and the accompanying pictures.
Apples by Ken Robbins also explains the growth process of an apple. However, Robbins gives a little more wordy text more suitable for an older 4 year old or 5 year old and up. Robbins' thorough information satisfies the inquisitive child. Note: this is a Scholastic book, too.
Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall tells the apple growth process in story fashion, perfect for slipping science to young children who prefer stories. I'd recommend 2-3 years of age and up. Note: another Scholastic book.
We've also read a few beginning to read books of Johnny Appleseed.
