Fun Facts About Apples
Cover Not all apples are red. These ripe apples are called Golden Delicious.
Title PageThere are many kinds of apples. The ones shown here are called
Red Delicious.
Page 3Apples grow in an orchard. An orchard is an area of land where fruit
trees are grown. In the spring, apple blossoms cover the tree branches.
When the apple blossoms fall off, apples begin to grow on the trees.
Page 5The white boxes in this picture are beehives­­. Bees live inside
the hives and make honey. Apple farmers often keep
beehives in their orchards. Bees spread pollen—a yellow
powder made by flowers. Pollen helps apples to grow.
Page 7In the fall, the apples are big and ripe enough to pick. Apple
pickers fill metal buckets with ripe apples. Then they dump
the apples into a big wooden crate.
Page 9These ripe apples might be sold at the orchard or in a
grocery store.
Page 11Each kind of apple has a different taste. Some apples taste
sweeter than others do. Some, like these Granny Smith apples, taste sour. All
apples are fruits that grow on trees. They have skins, and they have seeds
inside. Each tiny apple seed could grow into an apple tree!
Page 13Apples can be made into other foods such as applesauce, apple cider, apple
juice—and apple pie. Yum!
Page 15 Apples taste good, are fun to eat, and are good for you!
