A Basket Full of Figs

I thought that this was a lovely story!It has a great flow to it and I loved the images – they added a lot to the story and really brought it to life.The story is the re-telling of a traditional tale is of an old man who plants a fig tree which is not for himself to enjoy as he is very old, but for his children and grandchildren and many generations after him to enjoy too. It is certainly a book that gives you food for thought as an adult too (no puns at all intended!)It is 4 stars from me for this one, it was a great story that showed the importance of caring for our world, the environment and our future.

A brilliant story with lovely, clever illustrations (by Menahem Halberstadt who did the paintings in the Netflix series Shtisel!). My kids love the detail in the pictures and the funny characters. Five stars, highly reocmmended.

Lovely picture book, with beautiful illustrations and a touching story. Highly recommended (and I think suitable for younger children too).

This is a really touching story and the pictures are clever and creative. 5 out of 5, top marks
