Bookroo's summary

As summer wanes, two bugs face a delicious dilemma: the last peach. Is it ripe or rotten? Should they share or savor it alone? Their indecision leads to a humorous exploration of choice and friendship. Will anyone dare to taste the final fruit of the season?

From the publisher

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?!?

Find out in this charming, juicy tale by acclaimed picture book artist Gus Gordon.
