Description
Apples, ho! Sink your teeth into this hilarious tall tale thatās loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer in this ebook with audio.
When Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he canāt bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too. But the trail is cruelāfirst thereās a river to cross thatās wider than Texas...and then there are hailstones as big as plums...and thereās even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries. Those poor pippins! Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddyās eye) is strongāas young āuns raised on apples areāand wonāt let anything stop her fatherās darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil.
