Book Reviews of Johnny Appleseed
Book Review: A Tribute to Johnny Appleseed's Influence on American Culture
Summary: 5 Stars
There are many legends about John Chapman, the quiet man who planted apple orchards across early America. This book captures the romantic mystery of these legends, while emphasizing that they are based on a real person's story. The book opens as young Hannah spies him coming down the road toward her family's homestead. He stays for dinner, and leaves some apple seedlings for the family when he goes away. Throughout the years he plants apple trees across the land. When many decades later he returns to Hannah's home, she thanks him for the years of apples that have nourished her family, and tells her grandchildren how she met him as a child.
This book, well-written in rhyming verse and illustrated by the gifted folk artist Kathy Jakobsen, is an excellent addition to any child's library, but will be especially attractive for Christian readers because of its emphasis on John Chapman's faith. It is a tribute that conveys well how Chapman's influence is still felt in American culture, and it ought to whet the appetite for exploring the history behind the legend.
