Bookroo's summary

Ten apples hang on a tree, but hungry farm animals quickly devour them. As each animal takes its share, the farmer pleads for one to be saved. But what about his wife? With apples disappearing fast, can a solution be found before they're all gone? Count along and discover how this playful dilemma unfolds on the farm.

From the publisher

Ten red apples hanging on a tree. Yippee, fiddle-dee-fee! But they are not there for long. Horse, cow, donkey, pig, hen, and the other farm animals each eat one. “Save one for me,” calls the farmer. But what about the farmer’s wife? Count on Pat Hutchins to solve the problem happily. And count the red apples before they are all gone!
