Ba and George enjoy the fall harvest in Ten Red Apples: A Bartholomew Bear Counting Book by Virginia Miller. The fruit ripens with each turn of the page, until red apples outnumber green; a panel on the left side of each spread (the numeral and the running count-""five red apples""-organizes apples for easy inventory. A sweet surprise greets readers in the end.
