A small sproutling asks a small question: 'Why is there an apple on the Christmas tree?' Appleton Ace opens his clue notebook straight away - but his Apple Arc, which only ever lands on the truth, fizzles out. He doesn’t have anything true to aim at yet.So he takes his case to Sagebrush Sam, who mentions Johnny Appleseed. 'A tall tale,' says Appleton - and he’s wrong. John Chapman was a real man, born in Massachusetts in 1774, who planted fenced apple nurseries in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Appleton guesses Johnny planted pie apples - wrong again: an apple seed never grows the same apple as its parent, and most of Johnny’s trees gave sour apples best pressed into cider. Then Sam reveals one of the earliest written accounts of a Christmas tree, from 1605, hung with apples - just as a gust of snowy wind blows out every lantern on the tree.Appleton Ace and the Christmas Apple Mystery is a cosy Christmas picture book wrapped in gentle magic - a Christmas Special from The Root Kingdom, a universe of fruit and vegetable characters whose stories are rooted in true food history. It’s about logic, curiosity and learning to check before you believe - and before you doubt.Young readers discover the real Johnny Appleseed, how grafting gave us sweet apples, why apples kept all winter in a cool cellar, and why they belong on the Christmas tree.Perfect for:- Christmas bedtime reading and classroom read-alouds- Curious children aged 5-8 who always ask why- Families who love the story behind a tradition- A cosy Christmas present for little investigatorsInvestigate before you believe, and before you doubt. Stay sharp!#GrowCurious
