Mark and the Magic Apple Tree

Book excerpt: Mark was always hungry. No matter what he did or how much he ate, from morning to night, his stomach rumbled and grumbled and cried out “More!” One night he dreamt he was in an enchanted wood with a magic apple tree. After eating one of the apples, everything Mark touched with his tongue turned to food! At home, at school and in the neighborhood, Mark used his gift to make treats for everyone. But one morning something happened – something that Mark would deeply regret… Testimonial “It has a special sense of humor that really makes it stand out, and a sweetness that keeps the story in your mind even after you've stopped reading.” Kelley Note from the Publisher This book was lovingly written and illustrated for young readers who are comfortable reading alone but still enjoy picture books. Although somewhat longer than most bedtime stories, it is also suitable for being read aloud to younger children.
