About the Author
KEVIN TSENG (which rhymes with "sun") grew up in a town where there were thousands of oak trees, but only a few apple trees. When not telling stories about worms, Kevin designs stationery and other miscellany. This is his first picture book for children.
Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1—Ned is a good-natured worm that loves apple pie and the color red. For him, living in an apple is ideal, until the inevitable happens and his home begins to decompose. When the walls turn mushy, apple juice rains every day, and the bathtub begins to float, Ned knows it's time to search for a new abode. He tries out several different fruits: a pear is too wobbly, a lemon is too sour for his friends' tastes, and a pile of blueberries doesn't hold together. While perched in a bowl of cherries and busy designing a house, a bird lifts Ned—cherry and all—into the sky. Grasping an umbrella, he gentle glides down until he lands in a tree where he finds the perfect new home, an apple still on the branch. The cartoon illustrations are filled with warm colors and comic touches. Endpapers depict the life cycle of the apple from seed to fruit and back to seed. This reassuring tale will be appreciated by the read-aloud crowd while also supplying a subtle lesson in ecology.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ END

Ned loved apple pie,
and his favorite color had always been red,
so living in an apple was wonderful . . .
until the apple started to rot.
The walls turned to mush,
and apple juice rained every day.
When the bathtub began to float, Ned knew
it was time to look for a new home.
First he found a pear. It was
about the same size as his old house . . .
but the pear was too wobbly,
and Ned kept tumbling out.
