Reviews

[Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another wordless gem, with delicate and inviting illustrations to keep young children engaged. Lots of fine detail in this story of what happens when someone leaves an apple core in the grass. Voila! Hogrogian is all about the interconnectedness of life.

[Lara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Published in 1972, this is a beautifully illustrated, wordless book about an apple orchard growing over time from discarded apple cores by children and animals.
