Customer Reviews

Highly recommended.

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.
