I LIKE APPLES

About the Book

A children’s book for 3 to 6 year-olds, illustrated in bright colors in coloring-book mode, with text pages introducing small sketches that may stimulate the child to observe and ask questions, example: on page 26, the cat is chasing a mouse, and on the facing text page three mice stand and watch. The illustrations are done by the author on a Macintosh Apple computer in Adobe Photoshop Elements with a mouse. This is a story about a day in the life of Bossy, a cow whose family lives on a small farm. It is told from Bossy’s point of view. An orange cat is her companion. Bossy is curious about the moon and stars, as well as the fruit-tree near the fence which has pears hanging from its branches. After being fed a pear, Bossy realizes that she much prefers APPLES.
