This is a charming tale about a special apple tree with one last shiny apple on top long after the fruits of summer have disappeared. At first no one seems to notice it, until William Bishop's kite got stuck up in that  same tree. One by one members of the town come by, a newspaper reporter writes about it and soon other members of the town drift by to take a look. After dozens of townspeople appear with many different solutions for getting the apple down. they decide to just let the apple be. When a big storm hits the town, something very surprising happens to the tree and its apple. To this day, the town still tells the story of the very last apple.Peter Collier has a real talent in writing his humorous stories in almost lyrical verse. They are perfect bedtime stories or early reading books. Children will be encouraged to paint pictures in their mind while reading or listening. My only regret is that are virtually no illustrations. That would make this book a lot more appealing to very young readers.
