Sour Apple by Linda Liu. PICTURE BOOK. Henry Holt (Macmillan), 2024. $19. 9781250835086

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL

APPEALS TO: MANY

The apple is hurt because the farmer didn’t pick him when it came time for the harvest.  As he sits there getting grumpier and grumpier, awaiting his fate as insect food, he can’t imagine the glorious future awaiting him.

How lovely!  I had no idea where this was going.  I would love to use this in a lesson about prediction. I also enjoyed Liu's stripped down illustrations style.
