The entire narrative of this unusual story is told as a dialogue between two insects facing a moral dilemma: Should they eat the last perfect peach of the season? And what will happen if they do? Grey and red type is used to delineate the two voices, and the alternating cream and white colored paper is artfully distinctive. The mixed-media illustrations show the insect characters to be as elegant as two insects can be. Few readers will see the wordless visual surprise ending coming, although it is the perfect conclusion for this delightfully quirky little book. (Ages 3–7)

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?!?
