Book Synopsis

Gus Gordon's The Last Peach is the story of two indecisive bugs contemplating eating the last peach of the summer in a hilarious picture book about anticipation and expectation.

Summer's almost over, and there's one peach left.
There's also one big question in the air: Should someone eat it?
What if it's rotten inside?
But what if it's juicy?
Should the bug who saw it first get to eat it?
Should both bugs share it with their friends?

Will anyone eat the peach?! EVER?!?
