What is Tap the magic tree about?

A bare apple tree is waiting for a little magic. Tap its branches and tiny green leaves appear. Pat, clap, rub, wiggle and shake the pages to help delicate blossoms open and juicy apples grow. As the seasons change, the tree becomes bright and full before its colourful leaves swirl away in the autumn breeze. With simple instructions and playful illustrations, young readers take part in the tree’s transformation and discover the changing world of nature.
