My son loves this book! It's about a little boy named Russ who really wants a swing set, but complains because there's just an old apple tree in the backyard.
His family is able to help him see that the apple tree isn't so bad. They pick apples together, then Russ helps his mother and grandmother with each step in making an apple pie. After eating their dessert, his grandpa surprises him with his very own swing (hanging from the apple tree). I think the storyline is perfect for four and five-year-olds. Also, one of my son's favorite things to do is to help me cook, so he was really excited about the photos showing Russ washing the apples and rolling out the pie crust. What a great book!
