Reviews

"Original, amusing, almost surrealistic."- Vermont Country Sampler, Charles Sutton
""Just One Apple" is a stunning, deceptively simple wisdom fable for children with striking, contemporary style paintings for illustrations. Brilliant ribbons of colors thread through every page of this story of the dangers of wish fulfillment."- Midwest Book Review
"The art is loose and fiery. Full of motion and an eery calm. But I love how this book breathes."- Design of the Picture Book blog, Carter Higgins
"I m struck by how Janosch s art reminds me of John Burningham s art (British) in more than one way."-Seven Impossible Things, Julie Danielson"
