What better story premise than three animals trying to best one another with apple stacking, only to have the town try to plot their defeat? This Beginner Book does just that, with three friends trying to stack one more apple atop their heads to best the others. When they both reach ten, others are out to get them and have one goal in mind: knock off them there apples. It's a race around town as these three seek to keep their ten apples from toppling, but someone will soon knock over the apple cart, literally. Neo enjoyed reading this story to me, practicing his reading and counting, all as the plot thickened. A great book for the independent reader who wants to show off their skills.
