In Bartholomew's garden there's an old apple tree, which he loves. He loves swinging from its branches, hugging it tight when it rains and helping Little Black Kitten down from it with George when she climbs too high! But best of all, Bartholomew likes counting the red apples which George shakes from the tree! On every page of this lovely story book, the old apple tree has an increasing number of bright, red apples amongst the green. A brightly coloured margin to the side shows the number clearly in digits, words and a neat row of red apples, until the end, when George has baked all the apples into a pie and there are none left!
