review:
'The Pear Tree' by Luli Gray with illustrations by Madelyn Goodnight is a retelling of a famous fable about a crafty old woman.

Esperanza has a pear tree she is proud of. When she only has one pear left, she gives it to a beggar. In return, the beggar blesses Esperanza with the power to trap anyone in her tree. When death comes for Esperanza, she tricks him in to the tree. Now know one can die. But is that a good thing?

I really liked this update on this fairy tale. Especially the way the ending is changed with a different name. I loved the beautiful illustrations that go along with the story. This a classic picture book.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Penny Candy Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
