"Be careful what you wish for in this tale of dreams come true! While other people s trees are in full bloom, poor Walter 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 Walter cares about is guarding his apple. With no friends left, Walter 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 Walter s apple save the day? "

"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"
"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
""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
"Original, amusing, almost surrealistic."- Vermont Country Sampler, Charles Sutton
Janosch is one of Germany's best-known artists and children's book authors. He has published over one hundred books for children in over thirty languages, and he now lives on the island of Tenerife.
