<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This uproarious tall tale from the creators of "Fannie in the Kitchen" makes the perfect introduction to learning about apples and the Oregon Trail, and is loosely based on the true story of Henderson Luelling, a real fruiting pioneer. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The slightly true narrative of how a brave pioneer father brought apples, pears, plums, grapes, and cherries (and children) across the plains.</b> <p/>Apples, ho! <p/>When Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he can't bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too. <p/>But the trail is cruel. First there's a river to cross that's wider than Texas, then there are hailstones as big as plums, and then there's even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries. <p/>Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddy's eye) won't let anything stop her father's darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil. A hilarious tall tale from the team that brought you <i>Fannie in the Kitchen</i> that's loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Booklist, </i> starred review [A] delightfully humorous story about cooking and personal achievement.<br><br><i>Kirkus Reviews, </i> starred review Delicious!<br><br><i>New York Times Book Review</i> Charming...clever...deliciously subversive, [it] yields new treats with every reading.<br><br><i>Philadelphia Inquirer</i> A happy combination of text and art.<br><br><i>Publishers Weekly, </i> starred review Prepared to perfection and served up with style, this historical nugget imagines an interlude in the life of cookbook pioneer Fannie Farmer.<br><br><i>School Library Journal, </i> starred review A whimsical look back to when it all began.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Deborah Hopkinson is the author of numerous award-winning children's books, including <i>Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt</i>, winner of the International Literacy Association Award; <i>Girl Wonder</i>, winner of the Great Lakes Book Award; and <i>Apples to Oregon</i>, a Junior Library Guild Selection.
