Apples to Oregon: Being the (Slightly) True Narrative of How a Brave Pioneer Father Brought Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Grapes, and Cherries (and Children) Across the Plains

Apples, ho! Sink your teeth into this hilarious tall tale thatâ€™s loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer in this ebook with audio.

When Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he canâ€™t bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too. But the trail is cruelâ€”first thereâ€™s a river to cross thatâ€™s wider than Texas...and then there are hailstones as big as plums...and thereâ€™s even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries. Those poor pippins! Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddyâ€™s eye) is strongâ€”as young â€˜uns raised on apples areâ€”and wonâ€™t let anything stop her fatherâ€™s darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil.
