Summary
Bestselling author Janosch shows how sometimes it isn't best to get exactly what you want.
Walter's apple tree never bears any fruit, so he wishes really hard for just one apple, but when his wish comes true he gets more than he bargained for.
Description
While other people’s trees are in full bloom, poor Henry’s tree never bears a single apple—until he makes a wish with all his heart for just one apple. At last, his tree gets a flower and soon the apple begins to grow—bigger and bigger—until all Henry cares about is guarding his apple. With no friends left, Henry struggles to bring the huge apple to market, but nobody wants to buy it—they don’t believe it’s real. All seems lost until an insatiable dragon attacks the country. Could Henry’s apple save the day?
Critic Reviews
“"The art is loose and fiery. Full of motion and an eery calm. But I love how this book breathes."- Design of the Picture Book blog, Carter Higgins”
"Original, amusing, almost surrealistic."- Vermont Country Sampler, Charles Sutton
""Just One Apple" is a stunning, deceptively simple wisdom fable for children with striking, contemporary style paintings for illustrations. Brilliant ribbons of colors thread through every page of this story of the dangers of wish fulfillment."- Midwest Book Review
"I m struck by how Janosch s art reminds me of John Burningham s art (British) in more than one way."-Seven Impossible Things, Julie Danielson"
