Everyone admired the little peach tree that Farmer Pomeroy planted, and looked forward to the fine peaches it would produce. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Written by Norman Pike and illustrated by Robin & Patricia DeWitt, The Peach Tree is a picturebook story about the delicate balance of ecology. When a peach tree cared for by a farmer and his family is beset by hungry aphids, it wilts because it cannot sustain their excessive appetite. But the farmer knows just what to do - he invites a ladybug family to have its young on the peach tree. The peach tree feeds the aphids, and the aphids feed the ladybug larvae, and together all three species flourish; the peach tree eventually bears delicious fruit. Highly recommended.
