Applesauce Season is a fun and educational book about apples. I enjoyed learning about other apples I didn't know existed. I like going to farmer's markets and did appreciate that people in the city can make fresh applesauce from apples they bought from their local farmer's market. The family and their tradition was fun to read about. I thought the artist captured the moments well. My favorite page is when everyone is tasting the applesauce right out the enormous bowl. I definitely wanted some applesauce when I was done. Step by step a young boy tells us about making applesauce with his grandmother. From bright red apples to golden ones, they buy 6lbs. of apples for the sauce, and more for “eating out of hand.” This is a beautifully illustrated book about family tradition and, of course, how to make home-made applesauce. The delightful and colorful illustrations further the experience and warmth of the story being told. The enjoyment of family, tradition and love is felt as the boy, not only tells us of applesauce, but of spending time with his family. The illustrations are done by Caldecott Medal winner Mordicai Gerstein. He and Eden Ross Lipson do not let us down with this beautiful, charming story full of heartfelt warmth, it even includes a recipe readers can follow to start their own family tradition of applesauce making.
