The three animals do all sorts of challenges with an ever growing amount of apples on their heads.Įventually they move into a house where a mama bear chases them with a mop (rightfully so, because they are making a mess in her house!) Now that they are outside, their apples are threatened by birds that want to eat them. ![]() In the tree they meet a tiger who is very excited to join their competition and fun. They fall into a contest to not only see who can hold the most apples on their head, but also what they can do while balancing them, such as jump rope and hop on a tree. Very quickly the lion is met by a spotted dog. We first meet a lion that has the idea to balance “One apple up on top” of his head. This is a great book to help children with counting in a very fun, silly way. ![]()
