It Might Be an Apple is a boisterous, philosophical shaggy dog
story for young children - and probably a few adults. The story
follows a child's hilarious, wildly inventive train of thought
through all the things an apple might be if it is not, in fact, an
apple. Distrusting the apple's convincing appearance, the child's
imagination spirals upwards and outwards into a madcap fantasy
world - maybe it's a star from outer space with tiny aliens on
board? Perhaps it wants a cool hairstyle? Does it feel scared, or
snore at night? Children can see what all these crazy, funny things
might look like. This book is not only huge fun, but it also
encourages a questioning, challenging approach to the world around
us.

Jolan has become a robust kid who is interested in everything. The
strange signs he draws without knowing their meaning thoroughly
intrigue his parents. During one escapade, he makes friends with a
boy his age. The child seems to be lost and is terrified of adults.
Along with being deaf and mute, he cannot answer questions raised
by his mysterious presence. Surprised by a storm, Thorgal has been
taken in by an old couple. Without boat or money, he can't return
to his village. Perhaps an archery competition will allow him to
buy a new boat. Of all the competitors, the beautiful Kriss de
Valnor is without any doubt the most formidable. This two-volume
book includes "Alinoe".
