The Apple That Nobody Liked

I love the simplistic way of this book. Clear and concise story that will keep children’s attention with a message they can understand.

The illustrations were cute too.

I tell you what though, they were about the meanest bunch of apples. Joke was on them…the apple nobody liked got to live on long after those other apples were eaten.

Review of eBook

One beautiful day in the orchard, the flowers became delicious apples. The mother tree always reminded them to look their best because the harvest was approaching and only the best apples would be chosen for the farmer’s market.

All the apples were excited . . . except Sally. She wasn’t shiny, she wasn’t pretty, she wasn’t yummy-looking. All the other apples teased her.

What will happen when harvest day arrives? Are the other apples right when they say no one would want her? Will Sally be left behind?

=========

This touching tale, with its delightful illustrations, is sure to become a favorite for the young reader. The simple story is easy for young children to follow, and [sadly] many may have experienced teasing from other children, making the story particularly relatable for them.

Although the other apples treated Sally unfairly, she never reciprocated and, with no way to change the events that happened to her, she took advantage of her new situation to teach an important lesson. Surely, the unexpected outcome will bring a smile to the young reader’s face. [And may every reader recognize the truth in Sally’s ending message.] This is a perfect book for parents and children to read together.

Highly recommended.

Such a beautiful story!! I love the moral of this story! Beauty lives inside of you, not the outside. I think the children would love this book. Hopefully learn from it. I have always thought ugly food tasted better than the pretty food. Beauty is only skin deep and the outside is also beautiful.

I received a free copy of the book and is voluntarily writing a review

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC.

I was so intrigued by the title and cover that I had to request this. It was actually a very cute story! I wasn't really sure how an ugly apple would be resolved in a satisfying way (would it secretly be a peach ala the Ugly Duckling?) but it was really a great story and I love the message about growing and finding your own path. Inspirational!

A wonderful Childrens book that teach not everybody looks the same but it’s on the inside that counts. Great book to read to your little ones

I like the story and I think it will be good to help kids understand it is important to know there are good things about themselves. I liked the illustrations

Thank you to the author, illustrator, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest reveiw.

This is a really good book with a great message for young minds, regardless of how others perceive you or treat you, having faith in yourself and trusting the potential you have to do great things is the only way you can succeed. Everyone is unique and everyone can have traits that others can look down upon and therefore it's easy to feel bad about yourself, but because that doesn't help, we should pay much attention to those taunts and bullies that try to push us down. Instead, we should keep our heads held high and stay determined to keep our course and find what we can do that helps us give a sense of satisfaction and success while also building up those around us. Always try to surround yourself with people that want to guide you to prosper and not those who don't want to see you win.
