THREE PROS
*Molly Idle's illustrations are just beautiful -- so beautiful, in fact, that they were honored by the Caldecott Committee with a runner-up award
*Unilke many wordless books, there is a semi-complicated, yet understandable story to follow
*My wife thought it was very good and disagrees with my overall assessment of Idle's work

THREE CONS
*Chronicle Books absolutely blew it with the flap design here -- if the easily caused wear-and-tear doesn't bother you then the snap-back of the loose paper will
*Shaving off a page or two would have been a major benefit to the experience, considering the pages were so similar in design

*At least in this case, my son's apples fall a lot closer to my tree than my wife's
