A bunch of animals are competitively balancing various numbers of apples on their heads. Fun counting book with a chase scene. I don't love the illustrations.

This book should be used with Kindergarten and first grade. This book can be used to help this age group learn to read. This book will also help them with learning to count. This is a good book for students to learn to read on their own.
