These are the apples, juicy and red,
that went in the pie,
warm and sweet,
that Papa baked...
for guess who!
Lauren Thompson is the author of several picture books, including the popular Mouse's First series, Little Quack series, and the Wee Little series.

Jonathan Bean lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in a yellow brick building, on the third floor, above a café, in a small apartment where he keeps all his money and jewels on the doorstep, so thieves can find them, but sleeps with his drawings under the mattress. He can sometimes be spotted down the street at his favorite bookstore, The Midtown Scholar, or around town drawing people or watering his rooftop garden. If you tell him making picture books is the best job in the world he will agree.
