(Bilingual English-French edition / Edition bilingue anglais-français) This story tells how a woman loses an apple down a hole in the ground and then makes a series of attempts to retrieve it. Children love chanting the action sequence of this cumulative tale from memory, but when the plot takes a sudden turn that's contrary to all expectations, they also learn important lessons about the nature of problem solving and discovery. The strikingly beautiful illustrations by Rose Mary Santiago invoke the origins of the story - which comes from the Sufi tradition and has been told for hundreds of years in the Middle East and Central Asia - while at the same time lending a uniquely playful atmosphere to this very amusing tale.
Cette histoire raconte comment une femme perd une pomme dans un trou dans le sol et fait ensuite une série de tentatives pour la récupérer. Les enfants adorent réciter la séquence d'action de ce conte cumulatif de mémoire, mais lorsque l'intrigue prend une tournure soudaine qui est contraire à toutes les attentes, ils apprennent également des leçons importantes sur la nature de la résolution de problèmes et de la découverte. Les illustrations d'une beauté saisissante de Rose Mary Santiago évoquent les origines de l'histoire - qui vient de la tradition soufie et est racontée depuis des centaines d'années au Moyen-Orient et en Asie centrale - tout en conférant une atmosphère particulièrement ludique à ce conte très amusant.
