them the story of his life where he begins in a large family and then goes on the road. As he travels many people are enjoying the apples from his trees. This book shows the beauty of the landscapes as well as the goodness of people and the larger than life personality of Johnny Appleseed. Johnny Appleseed was well-known for planting apple trees across the frontier.

An extension idea for this book would be to sponge paint apples and put the Johnny Appleseed story on the apple or to cut and taste differnt types of apples and graph the likes and dislikes of them for the class.
