review 1: This picture book biography describes life in Johnny Appleseed's day, taking kids back through time. Johnny's life revolved around the following principles:Use What You HaveShare What You HaveRespect NatureTry to Make Peace Where There Is WarJohnny's life was as simple as a monk. He wore clothes that were given to him, tried to make peace between Native Americans and colonists and strove to follow a spiritual directive to bring fruit to the West. Great book for a church group, as it focuses on the moral principles that drove his life.
review 2: Seed By Seed is story that talks about a legend story Johnny Appleseed. It used a lot of examples from the story to talk about and express life. Chapman went on adventure across America and he would plant tress, apple t... moreress everywhere he went. His plan was to show just how much a little seed could do. The seed would grow a beautiful apple tree. He wanted to use that as an example as just what could happen in life; taking something small and watch how it can make a big difference. This book shows interactions between Americans and pioneers, and lives they lived. Chapman wanted us to 1. use our resources, 2. share what things we have, 3. respect nature, 4. try to make peace where there is war, and 5. reach our goals by taking baby steps. This is great for children because sometimes kids might take things for granted, and they need to realize at a young age how to handle situations so that it can be instilled in them for when they grow up.The illustrations in this book have a very wide range of colors. a lot of fall type colors were expressed throughout the story which i loved. The pictures on each page are so well illustrated that even without words you could detect what is being said. Between pastels and watercolors, that is what it looked as though the illustrator used for these pictures. This is another good book for students maybe fourth and younger. less
