Review: Great story. Delightful twist! - This book is for the more refined elementary/intermediary reader. What begins as a sad story has a delightful end. Chris Van Allsburg is a wonderful story teller. The illustrations compliment the story beautifully.
Review: A lovely figgy story - One of my neighbors shares figs from her fig tree, each summer, which I adore. I usually purchase her an Italian fig cake for Christmas in thanks, but this year I thought I would upgrade to a children’s book with lovely illustrations. She doesn’t have any grandchildren yet, but she will eventually! It’s never too soon to begin collecting children’s literature. 😀

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lovely figgy story
*by J***N on December 9, 2023*

One of my neighbors shares figs from her fig tree, each summer, which I adore. I usually purchase her an Italian fig cake for Christmas in thanks, but this year I thought I would upgrade to a children’s book with lovely illustrations. She doesn’t have any grandchildren yet, but she will eventually! It’s never too soon to begin collecting children’s literature. 😀

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful Story
*by J***M on June 22, 2011*

A "delightful" book for children and "grown-ups". An air of mystery, vocabulary that doesn't talk down to children, especially beautiful illustrations and. of course, the surprise moral. While reading this to my nine year old, who could certainly have read it himself, I had the opportunity to discuss the occasional French vocabulary and a few other words that needed some meaning enhancement. What fun the book is ; I look forward to reading it with my other grandchildren, 8 and 10, who will enjoy it just as much as their grandmother.The fig tree in my yard that produces such sweet figs is a bonus to the story.
