About the book:

"A little girl finds a neglected Apple tree, it’s unloved, and hasn’t borne fruit for years. She decides to take care of the tree and slowly but surely it comes back to life. It’s loved again. Animals return to call it home and blossom and leaves sprout. Before long the first apples are ready to be picked. But the more apples you pick, the more keep growing. Nothing makes it stop. The house is overrun with apples. What to do with them all!!"
