Bookroo's summary
In an apple orchard, a farmer encounters two mysterious figures: Take, who urges him to hoard, and Give, who insists on sharing. Their conflicting advice leads to chaos, as the farmer struggles to find balance. With apples, pumpkins, and pigs at stake, can he outsmart both and discover the true path to harmony? A tale of greed, goodness, and the surprising power of listening.
From the publisher
A clever story of greed and goodness, and the art of finding the in-between, from two-time Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka, creator of the New York Times bestselling A Ball for Daisy. Watch the farmer’s ear. Now watch the two small, clever fellows in pointy hats whispering into it, first one, then the other. Give and Take. They cannot agree. Listen now to the farmer talk back–and, in this story of apples, pumpkins, pigs, and a final surprise, he just might get the better of both of them.
