Bad Apple: A Tale of Friendship

32 pp. | Putnam | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25191-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 After the other apples tease Mac about his best friend and resident worm, Will, the latter, not wanting to be a burden, flees. (Mac ultimately finds him.) There's not much to the punning ("bad apple"; "bookworm") story, but Mac's despondency without Will is vivid--and funny. One illustration shows heartsick Mac painting a still life full of wormy apples.
