Apples can be tiny or large, red or green--but did you know that the seeds of these round fruits form a star shape? Readers will learn all these things and more in this fun book Captions call readers' attention to important visual information in the images, and clear chapter headings help to organize the book's central messages. Kids will also find inviting questions, an accessible glossary, and an index that makes for a useful search tool.

Mary Lindeen has been interested in learning about the world around her since she was a little girl growing up on a farm in Iowa. She thought learning new things was so much fun that she became an elementary school teacher. She loved sharing books with her students and wanted to know more about how those books were made, so she became an editor. Now she reads, writes, and edits children's books and still loves learning new things. She and her son live in Minnesota and enjoy traveling together whenever and wherever they can, including making frequent trips back to that farm in Iowa.
